Default Aftermarket Seats?

I am looking for recaro, sparco or bride seats for my IS. If anyone has some hook ups or know where to find some good used ones or new ones, whatever it may be please let me know! PM or post it here.

Thanks!

What's your budget? I have a set of Sparcos in one of the project cars being stored at my shop and it hasn't fared well with the seats exposed to sunlight for long periods. On this car the red material has bleached pretty bad.

Also, I had a set of the Recaro GT3RS Carbon seats in my Porsche and they wore horribly. If I were putting a reclining seat in any car right now, I'd look at the Cobra Misano:

There's a bunch of good info in that thread about what some of us have experienced over the years with different seats from all the big boys!

Also, Don't forget that you have CDOC (www.cdoc.com) located in Gordonsville, Va. Steve and the guys there will work with you on all their seats that they have in stock and can get for you to test "sit"!

Honestly those cobra seats are a little 'to much' for me. They are beautiful and im sure awesome race seats, but I don't drive a race car... its just a sports sedan. I'm looking for something a little more civilized and more like a stock seats with high sides that looks good and keeps me in my seat.

Went there today. NICE M3 parked out front and great people. Only sparco seats though, and some other basically full out race car seats. It helped alot, got my size and what I liked and what I didn't.

Great place, I recommend them, still looking for the time being though.
