    well it looks like I'm gonna get into some racing seats. I want two front matching fixed backs. I'm on a hardcore budget as usual so used is always good. I'm looking for opinions anyone can give me. what have you sat in or owned, likes, dislikes. how bad/good are the sparco speeds? I'd love evo's but I could only buy one right now

    Sparco Speeds are just fine. It's a good budget seat.

    If you want the cheapest certified seat that its moderately comfortable and you happen to be a medium to small size guy look at the Momo Start seat.

    http://www.shopmomo.com/momstarseatb.html

    $280 for FIA certified fairly decent seat

    Yeah, I was going to mention the Momo Start. Also a really inexpensive good seat.

    This guy is local in West Bloomington. He is a huge dealer, I bought my Corbeau FX from him. Unfortunately, comfort is highly subjective and all seats fit a bit different. I would suggest contacting him (his name is eluding me right now, but his phine # is on the site) and see what he has in stock for you to go sit in before buying.....

    Jim huston. great guy, got my corbeau from him. Its nice to sit ina a bunch of stuff first, since I would have bought a seat from the internet that in person I found out was uncomfortable.
