Yea I had a set of corbeau cr1's in my car and I'm on full trd suspension and I gotta admit it wasn't that bad, yes it did take bumps pretty hard but at least they held you in place which seems to be the problem with the stock seats sometimes I miss them and sometimes I don't I like the way the stock seats look cuz it was a clean look I had the bright blue corbeaus, I'm considering getting a set of sparco torino 2's in all black cuz it'll look clean cuz I hate how the stock seats don't hold you down

If you want (adjustable) lumbar support you might as well save up and get Sparco Milano 2. That's the one I have and I love it. I've driven on it longer than an hour quite a few times already and I don't feel any discomfort. It actually keeps me in proper driving posture and not slouch--hence I'm more alert and not fall /doze off while driving esp. in long, monotonous drives. And of course, it keeps me planted when I corner/drive through curving freeways. And like the Torino, et. al. , it's reclinable too.

Or, if you insist on a bucket seat, you can get separate lumbar, leg, side support inserts. But I don't know how effective/comfortable those are. Sparco has them, but only compatible with certain models.

Bottomline, if you insist on racing seats and still want some comfort, get those with adjustable lumbar support. Reclinables are more comfortable than buckets, of course.

Warning: GFs don't like them (at least mine doesn't). She seems to prefer the plushy oem ones, esp. if they're of high quality leather like in her accord. Plus, she's shorter than I am so the back of her head hits those plastic shoulder belt guides. (yadda, yadda...)

well i actually only plan on gettin one seat, and I would like adjustable seats, I just saw those seats that seemed nice but, after seeing what you guys think I'm pretty sure if I get a new seat it'll be along the lines of corbeau cr1/sparco torino

yea i have the corbeau cr1 and its really comfortable right now, before the first week my body was sore, because well i barely fit, so my back wasnt supported right, so i put a fluffy jacket then it was fine, then the more i drive in it, the better it gets so now im driving without the jacket ...it feels fine and comfortable..plus its reclinable!
