i sat in one in a rubicon the other day. nice seats, but for that kind of money i'd be hesitant to settle for those as opposed to a set of better quality for near the same price.....

Jeez ... its like dealing with my wife here ...

OK .. I'll ask: Which "set of better quality for near the same price" do you recommend/are you referring to?

[Big-n-Broke-YJ]

my choice would be hunsaker... http://www.hunsakersports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=261 but thinking about the post i made drunk @ 2am, i didn't take into consideration your needs.

Perhaps you aren't looking for a competition oriented seat like i automatically assumed you were. the moab's don't have much int he way of side bolsters.... not really an issue on-road though.

maybe you just want a nice set of replacement seats for your daily driver and weekend wheeler.... if that is the case, the moab's seem like a good choice for you. they were plenty comfy, and at $200 a pop they aren't priced that bad. unfortunatly, i dunno how they feel after 2 or 3 years of use, but brand new out of the box they sat very well in my opinion

Those hunsakers look like a great deal; any idea if they're a direct bolt-in?

I would still go sparco over corbeau. Higher quality for a little more money. I was always very happy with sparcos quality of their products.

if you don't want to spend much money I'd just go with either one of these jcwhitney seats, they're what i plan to pick up soon

those seats have been posted and talked about before... it would sure be nice if someone who has them would chime in! but I agree... for the price, they sure look like a good deal!

Have recently put them in my '89. Love the style, but they sit considerably taller than stock. don't have a tilt column and my thighs rubbed on the wheel. Had to cut the seat frame (it still slides, but the fold forward is no good)

Which ones are you referring to?

Another thing to factor in is whether or not you need brackets to run another seat of your choice. While the other Corbeau or Hunsaker seats might cost about the same, you end up spending more if you need to buy $100 worth of brackets.

I really want some of the Corbeau Baja SS suspension seats, but some shops have told me that I need brackets, while others say I don't. The nice thing about the Moab seats is that they bolt right up plus they have a provision for a harness as well.

Either way Corbeau is a quality seat and I doubt you would be disappointed.

Whitney calls them the racing seat. brackets come with them.
