Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Buddy Club racing seats...?

Are these a good brand for racing seats? They have them at Importfan for $540 shipped & that includes the bracket & slider. What color should I get also, my Celica is black?

dont know about the brand but they look nice...what kind of frame/body does it have?...i would go with whatever color scheme you have or the black one.

The scheme i am going with on my black celica is red and black, so if i were you i would probably pick the red ones. But it all depends on what color scheme you want.

i heard that they are a good brand

Where did you hear that?

I'm thinking of going with red 'cuz it looks better, but I dont' know anything about this brand. I don't feel like spending twice as much on Bride or Recaro seats if these are just as good as those. But if they're not then I'll go with Bride/Recaro. I think the frame is FRP or Fiberglass, not sure.

get either recaros or sparcos...

If you're looking for a good value, why not just get covers made for the seats you already have..

these are from isaac's car:

buddy club...the same ppl who made that kit for the celica (carries the same name)??

personally i don't like the seats...go bride, sparco, recaro, cobra, etc.

Buddy Club seats are better than a lot of the stuff out there. i think these seats are great. the price is right too!

Sit in them before you buy them, your body's frame might be larger than the seat's frame... Picking a seat depends on your intended use for the seat and your body shape. Side mount seats offer optimal design for high performance and competition driving. For optimal performance, the Recaro SPG are phenomenal. The ergonomics and support are so superior, it even feels comfortable for long drives. The SPG however has high bolsters and is designed for smaller drivers (below 35" waist). The Sparco REV is another good pick for slightly larger drivers. It has slightly smaller frontal bottom bolstering for easier exit. These seats are compatible with stock belts as well as 4, 5, 6-pt belts.

The Sparco Speed offers a high quality seat for a reasonable price. Finally, for street use, the Sparco Torino, Milano, and Roadster offer supportive and stylish designs. These seats are compatible with stock belts as well as 4-pt belts (Roadster & street seats will need to be modified for use with 5/6th point belts).
