   look in the forsale section there is a thread in there for some raceland buckets and sports seats very cheap and new. Just seem too cheap to me?

   Cant comment on that seller but I have sat in a few different ypes of the raceland seats and theyre very comfy and do look good. No where near as good at holding you round the corners as a branded set though, if your buying them for that aspect Id look at the Sparcos or OMP ranges

    true but they gotta be better than standard. The raceland ones look good.

    tbh the corbeaus i had the only bonus was they were a bit more supportive and i got them pretty low
    
    other than that the padding was too soft and you ended up sat on the metal frame
    they werent very light and they didnt actually look that nice imo
    and they fell apart rather quick too
    
    tbh i wont buy cheap seats again

    I sold a set of Cobra Monacos, they weighed a fooking tonne. At least twice the weight of my Sparcos. And theyre a popular seat too
