Default Help picking a seat

So my 2008 s2000 has a worn drivers side bolster and I can spend the same on fixing it vs buying a brand new race seat -> roughly $800. In one of my past cars I had a cheap momo one piece bucket that was surprisingly comfy so I am not opposed to it. My only issue is that I'd actually like input as to what is "good". I am mainly concerning the Recaro Pole Position (I am afraid it wont hold up long though plus its not a non reclining seat). I would probably start with just the drivers side and see how the girlfriend likes it before I upgrade the other one. Ive searched far and wide on this site from the racing forum to the gallery and even interior forum but if anyone local has any aftermarket seats I would like some input.

Ive not come to any meets (yet) and have had my 08 BB for almost a year now; one day when I get a decent shift at my job I do want to meet some of the faces I have seen waving around Alpharetta & Woodstock.

I personally do not have any insight on this matter but there are 2 people I know that can help your decision.

Try PM'ing Randall (ruut) on here and S2kCA. He is building an LS1 S2000 and he just bought some Sparco seats:

If you want to repair your seats, then contact Joe (Cyclon36) here and S2kCA as well. He owns and runs a coachwork shop in Symrna.

He's done a lot of interiors for a lot S2000 owners.

I hope this helps you.

Nice! What year is your car? I am also trying to find out what people are doing to fix their 06+ cars since the passenger side has weight sensors for the airbag.

Ah ok. Well I replaced my drivers side with a leather recaro pole position. Doubt ill add a second one, but if I do it will only be after I am 100% sure the airbag light wont be on.
