Why buy used when new seats are not that bad. Charles at safe drives hooked me up. 2 OMP TRS plus seats, 2 FIA G-Force cam lock 5 point belts, shipped for less than $1000. I think it was $986.

I think the seats were 330 each. They are very comfy, bottom mount or side mount

I had a grand total of $450 or so into the seats in my bunny, one older than dirt sprint for $150 and a lucky $300 score on a sparco evo off of a local forum....$1000 is a lot of tires.....there is something to be said about running around on forums looking for used stuff from the street guys, especially when seats don't expire in our series, belts magically do but that's another discussion...

I looked for used for a couple months and could not find anything in my price range so I bought new. A new Sparco sprint is only $315

Alex, I drove Sean's Xratty back from doo wops to save Al Kun towing the whole rig 170 miles just to drop me off.
They're nice and comfy and the material is particularly nice---more like cloth than the flimsy covering on 99% of seats. I'm fairly wide in the ass and they fit fine and the impression is they'll last a long time with the more durable covers and that's a good thing for us poor privateers.
Might think hard about it.
