| Looking for a decent quality bucket seat in Red.
I finally get to start piling up the parts for my car one by one. I'm looking for a set of good quality, reclinable seats in red for my civic. Wondering if anybody wants to recommend any brands/styles. I was looking at the Recaro knock-offs (yonaka), but them, as well as NRG have had some pretty bad reviews 
If anyone coudl point me in the right direction that would be great. Wanting to spend max $500 per seat including rails.

do you want only brand new?
i'm selling my old recaros for cheap. you could get them re-wrapped and buy rails and still be within your budget. http://www.revscene.net/forums/fs-re...o-t623225.html | |

IMHO cant really beat recaros when it comes to comfy, hold, and recline LOL

Don't cheap out on your seats. They'll save your life. Are you going to be dailying this car or is it a fun romping around in car? A fixed bucket ie. Bride Zeta, Recaro SPG have really high side bolsters. With alot of in and out you'll find its going to wear, with daily driving this could make it worse faster. I'd recommend going with something more practical like spoonek's Recaros since they can recline or maybe going with a Bride Brix.

I will often need people to get in and out of the back seat (2dr coupe) so reclineable is a must.
I'm looking into spooneks seats, I just sent pictures to a couple places for quotes on re-upholstering.
thanks guys.

lol stop with the sales tactics  I work at a dealership and I'm almost tempted to offer you a job lol
Just let me locate rails/brackets and get the quotes back from the stores and we'll see if it will work | |
