Buying a pair wondering what everyone else thinks of aftermarket racing seats.... any one rocking aftermarket seats ? worth it ?

 

are you going to track the car or is it just for looks/comfort/spirited driving??

how much are you willing to spend?

you can get Sparco CHRONO ROAD Seats for $1000

If you have extra money laying around then why not. but if its just everyday spirited driving its not worth it to save 40 pounds a seat unless you spent a bunch of cash on like sparco milano seats so you can still be comfortable

 

yea I'm getting Sparco Milano 2 seats

 

I'm buying it more for the comfort factor then anything else....the OEM leathers are just plain unconfortable

 

do the milano do the whole slide forward and back and have buttwarmers? I was looking at them before but i couldnt afford them haha

 

yea they move back and forth with the sliders and are adjustable for ur back too .... buttwarmers i don't think so ?... but either way it doesn't affect me because i don't drive my G in the winter anyway so never used the heated seats

 

Really? I think the OEM seats are actually rather comfortable compared to a lot of other cars I've owned. Aftermarket seats feel awesome at first, but give it a few hours on a longer trip and you start thinking otherwise with how stiff they usually are.

Just make sure you are getting legit seats, not knock offs. Make sure they are FIA tested, otherwise any accidents your insurance company can deny and coverage for medical bills. Plus the knock offs tend to break and shatter in accidents...

 

yea their authentic Sparco Milano 2 seats my buddy giving me a good deal everything for 650... then like 80 bucks to get it fabricated to fit the G because the base is for a 350z

ima keep the leathers if i end up switching back in the future but the deal sounded pretty sweet to pass up.

 

i picked up the same seats but i had them reupholstered to match the OEM willow interior

 

350z mounts already fit in the G35

 

nope the Z has 400 series bases whereas the G has 500 series bases

 

nope, they're the same. they sent me both by accident. the 350z mounts are marked as 350z/G35, the G35 ones have the exact same mounting points w/just a slightly different structure.

 

no way Genius you might have just saved me 80 bucks then trying to get them to fit.
