Pep Boys racing seats....sad alternative??

[boygenius]

Wonder what a set of those seats cost.

Probably more than a set of corbeaus seats.

Gotta back up what Zen said... I put some mid-80's BMW seats in our oval. They are absolute tanks! If I had known before I bought'em, I would have gone a different direction.

I wonder about the Pep Boy seats cuz they had that "look" I'm going for. They look just like Recaros...but cheaper....and like I said before the quality looks good, I saw them up close a personal. modern seats you have to do some sort of fab for a mount, these have bolt-in seat rails...is doesnt get easier. Plus, the weight issue, I know I'm not gonna shed much weight of my car that would make a HUGH diff in performance, but If I can save 5 lbs a seat going with these compared to something else (like stock seats out of a some other car) so be it. I looked for pics on the pep boy site, but found none. You guys keep an eye out for the sunday paper, they have an ad with a picture there. Anyway, thanks for the replies and suggestions.

Hey, Eurolook71... good to see you back on the boards. I was in N. Idaho last August but never went east to P.R., too busy.

Let's talk seats... I have checked out the seats at PepBoys too. I will be installing a pair of the $230 black vinyl seats in my BMW, it came with Recarros and they are just plain uncomfortable. The black seats at PepBoys are quite comfortable for me, and I checked them out closely for construction and seem to be pretty good. They are at least as good of quality as those I see sold on ebay for much more. Summit Racing has what appears to be the same seat for $200 ea.

Hey Ken, good to see you too! I'm actually back in California now (Alhambra), but I did go and visit my volks for christmas.

ne ways, ah yes seats. I agree, the construction looks great for these, and I cant stress enough how bad I want anything rather than stock seats, and these look great! You will probably get yours before I have mine, let us all know how ya like them!
