Default Aftermarket Seats

Does anybody know of some good aftermarket seats for the money for our cars?
I absolutely HATE the stock ones and would love some seats with nice bolstering on them.

Does anyone have any experience with these at all? They are pretty much the only decent looking ones that ive seen around.
I don't want to spend too much on seats but I dont want to cheap out either on ones that no one has ever heard of or something.
Thanks for the input.

I remember a thread a while back that showed a nice set of seats on Summit that had great bolsters but weren't lightweight. They were super cheap, in the $300 range if I remember correctly. Sounds like they would be perfect for you.

Edit: ah heres the link: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G1159B-1/

Bride, Corbeau, Sparco are some of the better ones...not cheap though.

Cheap seats=dont last long.. just the truth of the matter.

Yep I have that bookmarked on my computer but they seem like they might not be of the best build quality.

How cheap would you consider "cheap" seats to be.
Meaning, how low would you be willing to pay for a decent pair?

corbeau seats are definitely comfortable. i like firm cushions and thats essentially what the corbeau seats are and they are much lighter than stock.

recently i did a 4 hour drive to cape cod and it felt great. plus the ability to recline on the seat helps too.

How is the bolstering on those. Is there much room to slide around?
