~**Which cheap bucket seat**~

[TUnity2]

I already searched......

Ok so I am looking for a bucket seat for under $400. I am on the portly side (38ish waist) so i want one with a "wide" version so i dont squish my grapes into raisins.

The two that I am looking at are:

Corbeau FX1 Pro Wide

Corbeau: FX1 Pro (http://corbeau.com/products/fixed_back_seats/fx1_pro/)

Buddy CLub Race Spec Bucket

Buddy Club BC08-RSBKS-B Racing Spec Bucket Seat Black (http://www.frsport.com/Buddy-Club-BC08-RSBKS-B-Racing-Spec-Bucket-Seat-Black_p_1312.html)

If anyone has any experience with either OR any other suggestions please shoot (and don't say "lose weight fatty" I'm working on that :D)

I have that same seat in my S13 and its awesome man im around a 38' waist and i fit in it good just had to take the bottom pads out cuz it made me sit too high.

I'm a 30" waist, and the Buddy Club seat squeezes my kidneys...lol...

Have you tried the Buddy Club seat yet? I think it might be a tight squeeze for you...

[babowc]

I'm also waist 30, 150#, 5'10 and buddy club was really snug.
felt good.. imo..

yeah. i sat in a BC wide a few months ago but I wasn't sure if the Corbeau would be any better.

[idahotuner]

i plan on two budy club seats once i can afford them lol. maybe next month hahah or maybe i will buy carpet first lol

[g6civcx]

Kirkey is also a good choice for the price range. Check them out.

[McRussellPants]

Corbeau is a bench seat even if you're fatty sized, they suck and I hate them.

Panda Garage or bust.

I just picked up a brand new momo start for under $400. The seat is not only light as shit but its also FIA approved/side mount and all that other good shit.

[flip3d]

corbeau is cheap

[rps13drift]

does that come in a wide?

Idk? Im a 36 waist and 6 feet tall and it fits nice and snug! Not too tight and not too loose!

[TUnity2]

any other suggestions? i found a few but they are bottom mount :(

[Vision Garage]

full bucket? or reclinable? JDM tax or not? I would actually looking into Recaros.

[TUnity2]

so has anyone here ACTUALLY used a corbeau?

Recaro all the wayy =]

i picked up some NRG type r seats.. they are nice for what you pay. had some rails on my old seats and they fit right on. black with red stitching and they recline. i'm only a 32" waist but i still have room. i almost splurged on some bride seats that were like 2k for the pair but couldnt do it.

[SexPanda]

lol ebay that shit man, then reupholster the seats to say GROOM or something lol...

But in all honesty, the corbeaus are pretty nice. I have a 38 inch waste, and im 6 ft 1sh... They fit quite nice.

whats a good seat for big guys..... im 6'0 size 40 waist

[drift into a curb]

Go for Sparco Evo 2 or 3. Evo is by far one of the more comfortable seats for bigger guys. Hands down. Corbeau sucks and so does NRG shit. Been through like 5 or 6 seats already and settled with a Pro2K.

Recaro Pole Position copy? Why not just buy the real thing.

seconded, sparco evo for big guys. the pro2000 is hella comfortable, buddy of mine has one.

i run a cobra imola that i got for 200 bucks used in perfect condition. but then again i have a skinny ass :D

recliners suck ass...you might as well run stock seats. i had a reclinable seat before i got my bucket and it sucked. i had the worst back pains after driving longer than 1 hour.

[SoSideways]

If you could get a hold of the first gen Bride Brix, get those... if you must get a reclinable seat.

[180Sil]

i have a sparco evo and my friend has the fx1-pro. they are very similar in support, i'm 5'10" 34-36 waist and 190 lbs, i fit fine in them. they feel like they have the same shell. i also have experience in the bride zeta and the corbeau and sparco evo fits me better.

[jbuckley]

my corbeaus are junk as fuck

i wouldnt recommend them to anyone.

ive tried the forza and the reclineable model.... they both fell apart and mount really high , even my girlfriend bitches that they suck- were buying sparcos now.

[Nikeboy355]

I say go with the Sparco EVO... You'll fit for sure...

[SoSideways]

You people ought to take some measurements of yourselves, and compare it to the seats' size charts... at least that will give you a ball park figure of whether or not you will at least fit in the seat, or if you'll get stuck in it and have to call the fire department to come free your ass, no pun intended.

[krazydriver]

^ seriously, figure out what seat will fit you.
Best option is to go around and try out different seats.

I recently got the chance to sit in a race spec miata with the sparco evo 2 seats. if i get buckets... now i know what i'm getting! They are absolutely amazing seats. 6'2" 195lbs. Fit's me awesome.

Was this in a 240?

this is the kind of reply I am looking for. Someone who as actually sat in different seats. I am hearing good things about the FX1 bucket. The Corbeau reclinables may suck but i hear this bucket is nice. The middle size FX1 is about an inch wider then a buddy club wide and that seems like exactly what I want, so I'll probably end up going with that.

And I have sat in an EVO2 also and I love it but it jut isn't in my price range unless i find one used.

These look nice. Anyone have an actual experience with them?

[SoSideways]

I have had experience with the Corbeau A4s, and my take is that they're OK. Bolsters are too small to really hold you in, but just big enough to make it annoying to have to get in/out of the car like you sort of have a bucket.

Seat material seemed kinda cheap.

With the Bride MO rail in an S14, it sat pretty high.

Now I have a SPL Parts bucket with a slightly modified Bride FG rail (the rear mounts were modified to give it less of a gangsta lean). With the front of the seat on the bottom hole, and the rear in the middle hole, it's pretty low, and the seat fits me awesome.

I have a 32" waist, 160lbs and 5'10. Seat fits me like a glove.

Too bad you can't buy this seat new anymore... have to find them used if anything.

[jackjack]

sparco sprint.

snug and stiff as hell.

i love it.

not that expensive either.
