What does everyone run for a race seat?

Kirkey road race seat. Aluminum seats are a lot easier to install and take up less space. The fancier street tuner seats....sparco, momo etc are more comfortable and expensive but they are a lot bigger and harder to install and usually require purchasing special brackets specific to that seat.

My car came with these seats when I bought the car but I really like them. (this weekend I sat in the car for the first time in awhile and simply sat there reminiscing how comfortable the seat was and "jonesing" to get back out racing. I even wonder if the limited padding of these seats helps your rear end "feel" the car a bit better???

I have a racetech, bought it used and installed a backbrace kit as the date was expired

Kirkey with bolt on halo. No right side net needed with halo installed.

Sparco, Mono, etc are super comfy though. Like 2" of padding vs. 1/2".

I have a Kirkey road race seat and I would get another one. It is a well built, safe, containment seat for the money.

I have this same seat as well, seems to be gaining popularity in TX as I know of 4-5 cars and more coming...

I have had the same UltraShield in my car for over 10 years. It was used in my street/track car for a few before that. Very comfortable.

Just don't get one that has a huge halo on it cause you'll never be able to escape easily with your helmet on in an emergency.

Kirkey seat has two different sizes for the halo. I got the long one for the right side and short one for the left side to help with exit.
