Christmas List

So Christmas and my birthday are coming up so naturally I want a gift for my car. I think I'm going to ask for some seats but I'm not sure how good these are has anyone had them? Are they comfortable? Do they hold you around hard corners?
SALE ENDS TODAY! - $229/Pair - 2 Hyper-Drive RACING All Black cloth racing seats (1007FBK) :: Racing Seats :: HyperAutoParts - Racing seats and Body kits Superstore
Oh and ignore the 'Sale ends today' it said that a month ago when I first found these.

Well I guess these aren't going on my list. What seats would you recommend for a reasonable price?

I use the car mostly on the street I just want new seats because the ones I have are ripped and old. Also I get thrown out of my seats too easily when I do autox now that I upgraded my tires.

I've used sparcos, momo, and corbeau's....along with the different stock seats....
First......do you want fixed back seats or adjustable? (Reclining)
If fixed you can find used corbeaus pretty cheap, sparcos too....
Fixed back seats are great for the track, but a bit of a pain in a daily driver.....
I'd try to find a set of used stock 911 seats, decent bolsters.....sport seats have even larger bolsters.....
You could also try to find some vw recaros.....

Sparcos and Corbeaus without a doubt! They are pro seats, a b**ch to get into but hey... You can't win them all.

The "Good" seats are pricey. Keep your antennas up for a used pair of quality seats.

I've had Recaro, OMP and Corbeau race seats, and have a nice pair of Sparco sport seats sitting in storage now, all purchased used.
