Can someone recommend a decent yet affordable racing seat?

And a place to order it from?

TIA

I'm sure you've already figured out that the seat is only half the expense. The base, brackets and sliders can run $300+ and about that also for a good harness set. Expect to pay $1000+ per side (driver or passenger) when you're all done.

I have owned three different Cobra Imola. Great seats generally and a great value for dollar. Of the three, one seat bottom will not stay flat. I'd describe it as the trampoline effect. As you go over bumps at speed the seat bottom flexes. Not fun on the track.

Oh, and this was pointed out to Suby Sports and they wouldn't work anything out. If it happens, you are stuck.

HMS if you're on the east coast I'm sure you've already figured out that the seat is only half the expense. The base, brackets and sliders can run $300+ and about that also for a good harness set.
