a racing seat is something you sit in before you buy it. i would never just buy them online without seeing or feeling or siting in one.

Your best post ever.

Don't buy a seat if you haven't sit in it.

for reference i've sat in some nice sparco's and i loved those but it was more strictly race car. but another buddy has some JDM ITR recaro's and they are just baller, they hug you nice but still are something you can drive in day to day and its comfortable.

I've got the Ikea seats of racing seats. They're ok, look cool, but you're always wanting to change em out for something different.

I can't ever afford the close to $2k for the leather Sparco Torinos that I want. So I'm stuck with em for now. Still way better than the stock seats though.

I agree with redz and optimo, this is one of those things you drive around and but test everyone you can find.
