I'm trying to knock off some weight and the front seats are really heavy, but I don't want to pay $600+ for seats. I've scene the one's in Summit and Jegs which offer padded cover which look nice and I've sat in one at a store display and didn't feel bad at all. Alot more comfortable than those APC seats a buddy of mine has. (don't flame, he got them for free and the stockers shot)

those seats are probally a good idea, one of my friends drove a celica, he was saved a broken hip because of those race buckets. The only ones that i have seen are the pair of APCs at 50resto.com for 320. I know you said the APCs are uncomfortabe but those are the only ones i've seen for less than 300 a piece.

I would think that over time, the Alum. Race seat would do its toll on your SPINE. especialy if they are in your daily driver(padding or not) This may sound corny , but PepBoys here in Vegas sells race seats. They arent that bad like Recaro knock-offs. You could have 2 for 250.00

They sell them here too, 3A Racing or something like that. Not too bad. My car isn't a daily driver. Not much of a cruiser anymore either. I'm leaning towards a hardcore street car. I want to keep it streetable, but the rest can sacrifice.

Not into comfort. Race seats would be the cheapo way to go, like the Summit race seats. If I don't like them I can always sell them. I might get a roll cage in not too distant of a time from now.
