Smile Post up pictures of your racing seats....

I'm looking to purchase racing seats within the next few months, but can't decide on which one. All I know for sure is that I want the seat to be FIA Approved.

As the title says post up the pictures to help me decide.

I don't have any, but the Recaros in the new '09 8 are pretty sweet. Probably not what you are looking for though.

Sit in the seat before you buy a fixed back seat. Trust me.

No harnesses, just a drivers side seat for now.

Yeah, I have seen his. I started this thread so that I could see more options and see how they look like.

I've tried a sparco EVO, and a Recaro Pole Position. The Recaro's were awesome, sparcos were not comfy.

Because then everyone else who buys an RX-8 will lose. Extra wide seats = extra weight = less space for other things = probably a wider RX-8.

This way only you lose, and you can always lose the weight and saw off part of your shins to fit in.
