Default Race Seats

Does anyone have any recommendations for some decent seats that don't break the bank? The car is almost ready to get back on the road with the transmission being installed as I type this out, but now I'm starting to think about what comes next. Cage, Seats, and harnesses, but I wanted to get some firsthand recommendations. Thanks all

Sparco and OMP are my picks, but tbh, you really need to sit in them all to decide. Race seats are a very person specific thing. Expect to pay in the neighborhood of 800 a piece for them (probably more) then you'll need brackets and such. Avoid anything cheaper and not fia rated like corbeau, or any of the shitty Ebay brands.

The OMP WRC was the most comfortable seat for me. My best friend is my same height (6'2) and hated them. Also that's about the biggest seat you can fit in a c4, and if you're a big or heavy guy they're also probably too small. Kirkey might work in that case, but a lot of orgs require extra stuff for metal seats.

You will find that not very many race seats actually fit in the C4 due to the parking brake location.

I run a 17.5" hip width kirkey aluminum drag seat on the driver side.

My car is gutted, but the driver side dimensions dont change much with or without console/carpet.

The parking brake assy is the big deal on the driver side.

I have a 20" hip width kirkey drag on the passenger side.
