recaro style SRD black with red stiching....i really dont want to spend a grand on seats, lol

I have them, very nice imo. ive never been in recaros so I cant tell you any difference



If i had the money I probably would get some certified seats. I plan on getting a roll cage,takata harness on the knock offs and a itr wheel. I should be ok

I got these seats in black with red stiching. They are average, of course your getting what you pay for here but an 18 college student like me cant afford 2000 dollars in seating like OC civic. They are a little stiff but i love em, they hold your ass in the seat magnificently.

I bought some Corbeau Carreras a couple years ago (They're called CR1s now I think) and they feel great! They hug you while you're cornering and are freakin comfortable. The price is right too. I sat in some Sparco Torinos before the purchase and they feel EXACTLY the same. The only difference is that you don't get the micro adjust (which I don't really like) and that "quick tilt system." The material is also different too. Check em out. =)

dont get me wrong.. $2000 in seating is not right for everyone.. my first car was a piece... and a LOT of it was rigged up (not saying that about you.. just saying) when i got the civic.. and i realized that i wanted to TRY to keep it forever.. i decided not to cut corners.. because thats all it comes down to.. if you intend to keep the car forever.. then imo get the best most upper end stuff.. because even if it takes years to complete.. you will know that the seat you are sitting in.. the shift knob you are holding.. the gauges you are looking at.. the tires you are rolling on.. the suspension the car is sitting on.. etc.. is the BEST it can be.. if this is a temp car before you are far enough along in life to get the car you "really want" then dont bother spending the cash.. thats really how i view the matter.. 8)

Good stuff; your comment made me feel better. I've spent so much money on my car, I feel like I should have bought a Bimmer. :shock:
