My personal opinion, after seeing the outcome of bruises and injuries on other racers that have experienced accidents, and taking in to account the current speeds, I will not go low cost, or use a fiberglass or metal seat with just a cover, or compromise because visibility on a racing seat.

In my new Comp car, I am using an FIA approved seat, with support and cushioning to protect my body in the event of an accident and also allows me the use of a HANS device.

Yes, they are expensive when compared to an aluminum Kirkey, nevertheless, I will never compromise my safety.

The two brands I recommend are Cobra and Racetech.

For the passenger seat, I purchased an Ebay, Chinese made, racing seat that looks identical to my FIA approved seat and it only cost me $75.00.

Below is the Cobra seat I am using and next is the Racetech seat used by many in their drag cars.
