Seats! Who likes theirs?
I'm looking for more aggressive seats that I can still use in a daily driver. Don't want something I can't get in and out of. Needs to be durable, light, safe and sit a little lower than stock. Don't need reclining.
Who has seats they really like? Where's the best place to get them? Opinions and maybe pictures will be greatly appreciated! |
Sparco Roadsters are good, but you'll have to cut the shoulder wings and front leg part. Gare from TDR has some aluminum seats that are comfy for aluminum, but you probably wouldn't want them in a daily. My sparco sprint makes driving anywhere but the track a pain.

i hate mine, oem leather. not only do they burn the shit out of me, your slide around too easily.
sat in Momo Starts and like them |
The Momo Starts are pretty good, fit in a miata, have adjustment rails available. They have always been on my list. They are pretty cheap too, last time I checked.
|
$200 a pop I believe.
|
I love the starts, they are pretty comfortable too...
|
Momo starts are now on my list.
I was wondering about some of the aluminum seats. They're dirt cheap, like me, I just don't know how the covers hold up with a daily driver and haven't seen many that weren't really aggresive full race bolsters. |

I love my Starts. Where the hell are you guys finding them for $200, though? The cheapest I could find them was $312 shipped.

I have Corbeau TRS leather seats. The recline and look great. Perfect fit with the corbeau seat brackets. By the way, might have to sell because my father who drives me with me a lot cannot fit into them (he is too fat).

I was wondering what kind of bracketing is needed to install aluminums. Put in a call to autosheild today to find out.

Most people don't use the standard side mount brackets in miata's anyway, alot of times because they won't work. It seems much easier to make your own flat stock brackets and bolt them to the floor. Savington has a set of momo's or sparco's bolted to his floor. He took pictures showing how much headroom he gained this way relative to the broomstick rule with a rollbar.

That would be my reason for getting a new seat. I have a long torso, and everytime I sit in a miata with a rollbar, my head is in the perfect spot for getting a nice concussion should I be rearended ... fuck that.

I'm nealy 6'3 but I don't have super long legs or a super long torso both are about equal. My head just clears the softtop with the stock NB seats and my head didn't touch an NA's hardtop when i sat in it. I plan to mount my seats on the floor just because i'm tall enough that if I ever want to beat the broomstick rule I need to get that extra head room for my helmet. Plan was to get the Momo's because they are cheap and FIA certified without a brace bolting them to the back wall like some require. That'll all have to wait till the fall though.
|
I'm needing the lower seat to clear the roll bar even though I'm only 5'8". I have an autopower that sits way back from the seats. Great on a daily driver because there is no way my head would hit it even with stock seats. Sucks on a track car because it sits too low.
|
By the way, I just saw today a very tall guy in a miata with the bride pro seats. It fits great and he says he had no problems with these. These are nice seats, but the bride sliders and expensive.
