I forgot to add that the Kirkey seat actually has two bracket kits that go along with it, one for the bottom and one for the seat back, that you directly attach to the rollcage.

Kirkley does that as they are a drag/sprint specific seat company. They’re a solid race seat for sure, but if you have plans to street drive the car for any length of time plan on bringing a bottle of asprin
RaceTech seats are super comfortable and priced fair.

I have a Corbeau seat and it’s fine for me.
Quite comfy, possibly thanks to extra (a$$) padding on my part. I use it in the car every day.
The good things about it are the side bolsters aren’t ridiculous so I can actually still get into the car without removing the steering wheel, and it was very reasonably priced.
It also dropped me about 2" lower in the car compared to the stock seat.

> I need to buy a driver side seat in the integra. I simply will not fit with a hemlet on, much less with the cage welded in. It needs to be a side mount, so I can pretty much slam it to the ground. I’m not looking to spend 2k on a seat, so no baller bride seats. Anyone have a good recommendation?
