Seats

Yada yada I'm too lazy to search. Happens. Looking for some quality seats for my M6S that don't cost more than my professional trumpets. lol. Looked into Corbeau, Sparco, Momo. Recaro and bride are too expensive. Any other good brands that have seats for 200-350 for a good reclining seat? I'd love fixed back seats, but I daily drive it and would like to lean it so I can still nap in the car from time to time.

Yonaka is pricey. Wow. Which of the the three I mentioned are the best, or is there a difference? I like the Sparco R100 in black/grey and the Speed 2 in black/blue. Also like the EVO style and Ferrari VM2 style from NRG. They make great race seats, but make a cheaper DD seat using PVC leather.

05-up Chevrolet Cobalt Racing Seats from Yonaka at Andy's Auto Sport

Thats listed for Cobalts, but they're universal. 315$ for 2 seats is cheap. If you cant pay that for new seats, then ebay or nothing.

Agreed. Those stockers are trash.

They all say SS on them and the Recaros go for way too much. Even the used ones.

ebay used..

this is an expensive set but Cobalt RECARO FRONT REAR BLACK LEATHER SEATS 06 - eBay (item 250710882457 end time Mar-12-11 10:27:37 PST)

thats 1000 total for 4 seats

there was someone on here selling the fronts for like 400 in ny

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/09-Tu...#ht_1146wt_702

for new ss seats which IMO is a much nicer setup

if you keep looking they'll pop up on time to time on ebay.. or look on redline forums or just local junkyards

I have no use for back seats though. I'm not driving an Ecotec. I don't even know if the Cobalt Recaros will fit in my car.

I saw them, but they just don't do it for me. I really like the Megan Racing seat. Probably end up saving for it.

Maybe. I'm going to be broke soon, so I need to see how much I'll have left over. Dropped my tax refund into a shifter, gauges, and headers. How much do you think it'd cost to get them to SE Ohio?
