nice man, looks great how do they feel?

[trannb]

So far so good. They're a bit difficult to get out of and the seatbelt currently gets my neck a little. It's just a matter of time before my harness bar is ready.

[jondukes]

sweet dude ,you have pretty wide shoulders from what i remember does it fit good?

[trannb]

Basically when I sat in these seats, they felt like the perfect size for me. The Sparco Evo2 has just a tad more room. I think the next size down for someone would be the Sparco Pro2000, then the Sparco Evo (neither of which I can fit in)

[Macky]

they look nice

[santhology]

Looks good ... congrats

[GokuSSJ4]

wow !!! nice (thats my next thing to do)
how much did you paid for them and where did you purchase them ???
and dont say RRE :lol:

[trannb]

$690 from Honda Robert at RRE. I already had Sparco seat brackets that I picked up from Dynamic Autosports.

[GokuSSJ4]

so its 690.00 + bracket then.

[trannb]

Yeah, the Steel Side brackets were about $25. I modified my stock mounts on a Mill so that the steel brackets fit right in. I have 10 unique forward/rear adjustments over an 8 inch range and the 5 vertical/tilt adjustment holes.

cool !! time to save my pennies :mrgreen: i been wanting to get a cobra bucket seat.

[gofaster87]

Goku, youre a bucket!!!

[GokuSSJ4]

do it !!!!

[leaveit2bevo]

Goku, youre a bucket!!!

[tlin8]

I need to find myself some seats too. Those are nice!

[CT9A RS]

About how big are you. I have yet to come across a bucket seat that i can fit into. Some people think i might beable to fit into the Bride Zeta 3 type L cuz its slightly bigger than the 2 type L. (Not all Japanese people are small)

For reference im 6'3" 250lbs. When it comes time to get a seat if i have to i will starve myself down to 220-225ish.

'bout the same weight, 5-6 inches shorter. You're welcome to give my seat a try some time if you come out to an OC meet. For reference, this is JUST about the same width as a Sparco Evo2 seat. The Cobra does seem a tad smaller. Sparco does make the Evo3 seat in case you're uber big.

So Nam,

Does it hug your fat butt better?

[GokuSSJ4]

IMO Cobra are the way to go for you Dino :lol:

[trannb]

So Nam,

Does it hug your fat butt better?

Hell Yes. I just have to make a couple of slight modifications to the seat brackets and it'll be perfect. Harnesses will go in this weekend.

Yeah, the Steel Side brackets were about $25. I modified my stock mounts on a Mill so that the steel brackets fit right in. I have 10 unique forward/rear adjustments over an 8 inch range and the 5 vertical/tilt adjustment holes.

but you have no sliders... you savage!

[WavMixer]

Excuse me for asking a silly question, but why replace the seats? I like the way the stock seats look and feel.

[Senshi]

its all how fast u take corners at the track i personaly alway end up holding my self with my knees in the corners so at the end of the day it hurts pritty bad. The more side support could help alot.

[trannb]

Before I got this seat, I was kinda the same way. The stock seats felt good and supportive. Then I sat in Robi's Evo2 seats and after that I got to drive a few cars around that had similar seats in them. That convinced me to get a seat. The fact that stock Evo seats sell for a decent amount helped offset the cost by a lot. Now, if I sit in a stock evo seat, I feel like I'm going to fall out of it. The new seat is much more comfortable and much more supportive. I also sit slightly lower than the stock seat. Most importantly, I don't have to fight to stay in my seat at the track.
