Question Most comfortable racing seats?

What are some of the most comfortable racing seats?
trying to keep the price down as much as I can, but I don't want something crappy or uncomfortable.

Comfort is as much a metter of how the seat fits you as it is about padding and material. For example, the Sparco Milano fits me perfectly and is exceptionally comfortable for me. However, Cobra makes a similar seat with what I believe to be better quality materials, but I can't sit in the seat for any length of time. It doesn't fit me well. The only good way to answer this question is to sit in aftermarket seats until you find one that you like.

The Corbeau Carrera's are extremely comfortable.
Like Chris said though, depends on how big you are...
Height? Weight?

The Carrera's would fit you perfectly I am sure.

I'm 5'11", 140, and the Sparco Milano and Torino fit me perfectly. The Momo Street Racer fits me, too. I couldn't find a Cobra seat that was comfortable.

Im 6'5" 190 and I like the way my carrera's feel. I have some pics of them in my sig....either way any aftermarket seat would be better than the stock seats IMO.

My buddy Alex has a Corbeau Forza as his driver's seat. Even though it's fairly vertical, it's still surprisingly comfortable to sit in, although I'm still probably going to just choke up money for a pair of A4's or CR1's.

Not true. I'm a skinny guy and I've still sat in seats that are are so narrow in the shoulders so as to be uncomfortable. Not all seats are comfortable to all people.
