Having bought a B and M quick silver shifter I must do away with the bench to make room for it on the tunnel. I just got my taxes back already so I got some fun money to put into the interior, I rather save some money but when you do sometimes you get what you pay for. Seats that are cheap don't last. My question is about the pro car buckets from summits catalog. It sucks I don't live near a supplier that has seats so i can sit in them but most can describe a good seat from a bad one. I'm younger so lumbar is not that much of importance but does feel nice on the longer cruises
Any reviews would be appreciated

The other seats that you pay more for that i have my eye on are the Sparco http://www.sparcousa.com/product/r100

Or the Corbeau http://www.corbeau.com/products/reclining_seats/baja_xrs/
 
Cameron Park is close to Sac ?? Tognotties in Sac has pro car seats. others as well.
check it out.
 
Out of those choices I think the Corbeau seats look the best. But they are also expensive.

Personally I wouldn't put any of those in my car, I just don't like the "racing seat" look of any of those. They always look out of place in an old mopar.

You might look at used seats from a newer car, unless your set on "new"

I got a great pair of seats from a 2005 Scion TC, $200 for the pair, very nice condition, comfortable, and they matched my interior. If you have the skills to make some
brackets yourself to mount late model seats into your dart.

Just an idea.

Thanks all for the input, I do like the Corbeau seats cause they look the least "race tuner" they also cost the most.Id go for them just wish I could sit in them first, my friend has the summit pro car version seats and I thought they were a little hard. I had an idea of sticking SRT Dodge charger seats in but can't find those for low costs
 
FWIW, I've been driving an '02 Dakota pick me up for several years, and liked the seats in it so well that I bought some for the 64ragtop at a local pick a part, two seats and the center console/buddy seat for $50.00. I mounted the bases that came with the seats on top of the Dart ones and wound up too high, so I'll have to fab up some new bases. The Dak seats are a LOT better than the stock Dart GT buckets, and the price was right.

And you're probably yellin' "TRUCK SEATS!!!??? Well, hey, it's MY butt and it's kinda wide. Seems like most of the sportycar seat makers specify "fits 38" waist" " Well, those won't work for ME. Of course, your mileage (and your butt) may vary!
