i badly need new seats for my s13. i can't afford expensive ones and last time i sat in an s14 seat it just didn't feel right. has anyone used NRG seats? ive searched for reviews but can't seem to find anything.

are your current seats ripped or something?

or are you driving in such a manner you need more holding power?

*punxva* · 01-28-2009, 08:36 AM

have you looked into corbeau? they are pretty cheap and fia approved if your planning on keeping them for more than street use.

i was looking at the eastbear seats for my s13 but haven't found any in any s chassis so im not sure how they fit. anyone have these?

I have a nrg seat.

It's nothing great but its a pretty good seat.

onesloka · 01-28-2009, 01:32 PM

my stock ones are probably the worst s13 seats i have ever seen personally. its torn and all of the foam is dry rotted and crumbling everywhere. i would like more hold also, kinda want to try out the whole auto cross scene.

*OptionZero* · 01-28-2009, 02:02 PM

oh yeah, i had buddy club

it was alrite for the price

I've sat in NRG seats (display, not in car) and they feel ok. I have Corbeaus in my coupe and they're good the only complaint I have is that with using the Corbeau brackets the seats are a little too high. I wish I could get them lower.

Same issue here with the Corbeau brackets. I removed the sliders and bolted the seats direct to the rails. They dont adjust of course, but they happen to be perfectly placed for my height (6'). Might wanna try it. They drop almost an inch.

I too recommend the Corbeau for inexpensive seats.

*hotlavaflow* · 01-29-2009, 07:18 PM

Good to know an inch lower would be great. I really like being able to slide them though.... decisions decisions.

mkiv98 · 01-30-2009, 03:04 AM

I also have this problem, my s13 seat bracket is messed up and wont bolt down properly and the whole back is twisted, so after I finish driving, my back hurts for a while.

ive also considered the reclinable from f1spec, i hear its good. anyone else have input on it?

*revat619* · 01-30-2009, 03:13 AM

Panda Garage seats are good quality and easy on the wallet.

lol @ jay.

I've been lookin at the PG seats. Pretty nice. I wouldn't want an adjustable seat though. Limits the people that can drive the car. ahah

kalypso123 · 01-30-2009, 04:22 AM

s15 seats are nice... when they're not overpriced.

aren't bride and recaro the only two s13 fia homogilated seats?

... im asking

*Quail* · 01-30-2009, 04:30 AM

I echo the Corbeau comments. Good value FIA approved seat. Use a bride subframe to get it nice and low

*Wookie384* · 01-30-2009, 04:36 AM

DO NO USE NRG SEATS! My buddy bought a pair and put them in his CRX and within a few months they broke, the recline part broke internally and the seat leans all the way back. All NRG does is make knocks off's, their quick releases are decent, until they wear out. Just look on the classefieds, I found my Sparco RS2 for $300 with sliders and brackets. Don't go cheap on a seat, its your spine that it protects, my friend was lucky his seats gave out while he wasn't driving, or driving fast.
