Can anyone reccomend some street?strip seats?
Hey all,
I desperatly need new seats in my car. After over 170,000 miles they are both gangsta leaning bad, even though the upholstery is in good shape.
I was looking at summit and found these http://store.summitracing.com/partde...700+4294804476
Does anybody have experience with these? If not can you recommend something else?
Thanks as always!

I had some awesome Sparco seats and belts. Comfy daily driving, and firm on the track. Passes all saftey inspections too, because some off brands of seats with recline aren't aloud at some autocross tech inspections for future refrence.

the summit seats are in my car. black leather. they are ok but fall apart. with a seat you do get what you pay for. i would recommend saving and spending $1000 on some nice corbeau's or sparco's

lol jk, you should try to find some non-broken ones from a junkyard (without gangsta lean) and have them reupholstered

they were in there when i bought it. the kid that owned it before had them in there for maybe 4 months of driving before he got in trouble n it sat for 2 years. the leather is nice, i dont know they might not be summit seats but the recline function is done by a rolly ****. they're such a pain. the hinges are loose as hell. and the springs are falling out.

just fix your seat , I have fixed a couple of them , probally the only thing wrong with them is the spot welds have broke.
Just pull the upholstery off , unclips from the bottom and then just pull it off and take off the foam and weld it backup. very easy fix and the gansta lean is gone.
