Thumbs up Race Seats

I need to buy 2 race seats for autocross. I am looking for something under $500.00. What does anyone have that fits and they are happy with?
Thanks

you should try each seat you can before purchasing a set. a set that is comfortable for me could be hell for you!

as far as 500 for a set: look into corbeau, sparco sprint, or replica buckets(might not be legal for racing association)

IMO you ought to set your budget at $1000/seat, and then choose the seat that fits you and your needs best. You will have a lot wider selection at that price point. This isn't a good place to be making decisions because it saves you $50 or $100. Kind of like helmets.

Car is for 90% autocross. Don't need a big money seat. I was mostly interested in what seats fit in the car. Any seat I get is non-refundable so it seems. Need to know what fits before I buy to be sure.
Thanks

What class? I thought the S2000 is only really competitive in AS, and they don't allow non-OEM seats. But I'm not an autocross guy, so I could be wrong.

Sparco rev

Sprint is tubular= unconfortable and dangerous
(they are forbidden in Europe now for many motorsport events)

I love my seibon seats and you can get the pair for under 1K,

be prepared though to buy sparco brackets and drill them to fit, seats aren't terribly easy to do...
