Show me your seats!

I'm looking to upgrade seats- probably Corbea RSS, but want see what everyone is running. I'm looking for a street/track type setup I can run a shark bar and harness with. I'm just sliding around too much.

Thanks!

No, sliders make it sit to high for me to use with a helmet.

Corbeau offers a 1" shave option. Maybe others do to. I figured out I needed it after I installed them. doh

Check out the Recaro “Speed” family of seats. The baseline Speed is deeply contoured like a Sparco and has an optional slot for a sub-belt. The Speed M is similar to the C7 Competition Seats. The Speed V has leather. They can be mounted on sliders.

My sparco seats and my dads OMP seats. Personally I prefer the OMP seats. I hate the halo's on my dads seats.

Here is my seat. Its a Kirkey 17" on a planted floor bracket with a Sparco seat slider. Tight but it fits.

After looking at the price of two seats and a harness and shark bar and etc I'm definitely tempted to just buy a track car with this stuff in it

I've been looking a C5s, which range have the craziest and most inconsistent pricing of any car I've ever seen. $30k for a "low mileage" (30k miles) C5?
