What kind of drag seats are you using?

I was hoping to find something that I can just bolt in. Ease of installation and weight are important to be. Comfort is an after thought. And price, I can deal with if it's worth it. What aftermarket seats are you guys running? Please no $400 suggestions. This is a drag car, it'll never see a car show.

if you want a cheap set go to pep-boys, or auto zone, etc. they sell racing buckets for like $100 bucks. I just ordered rear black leather 4th gen seats and black leather recaro front seats for my car, i cant wait to put them in!

Leather is too heavy. I'm on a diet.

theres always the cheap plastic summit racing seats, or Kirkey Seats... niether are all that comfy, but they're lightweight and cheap.



edit: im using Corbeau CR1 seats..... but they're pricy as hell.

Ya, I'm looking into the kirkey and summit. But when it's all said and done w/ the seats, mounting, and covers, you're over 135 for the kirkey's + shipping. I feel a call to summit comming on....
