Hi folks,
I stripped the car last weekend, prepping it for a roll cage.
Now it's time to buy a seat to allow for the best roll cage fitment.
There are SOOO many seats out there, and I have heard it all in terms of opinions. That should tell me that it's a personal decision. But before I decide to buy something, I wanted to get some feedback from folks here.
I have a 92 Honda Civic Si, sits just 5" off the ground. My last seats were Corbeau Forza GT's and worked so-so for auto-x, HPDE and TT's. There were USED and cheap, but there was no lumbar support and the my ass would not fit snug into seat. So that and 4pt rallye harneses, driving was an "experience" which still included bracing myself on the dead peddle.
So...
1) Is there a seat out there is reasonably priced, ~$500?
2) allows for specific dimensions based on hip fitment and length from ass to shoudlers (I'm only 5'4" with 34" waist and 27" inseam... don't laugh!)?
3) regardless of my dimensions, is there a specific layback angle that other civic drivers found useful?
4) anything I should consider... I heard ultrashield, butler's, kirkey and the like with the rib flaps make for intersting elbow-rubbing while driving.
Thoughts welcome.
Thanks!
