Default Budget buckets. ..

Not the local slags

Apparently it isn't socially acceptable to run just a single bucket seat, so I need to get another. Nothing really local on eGay so going to get a new one. Now, have any of you had experience with an OMP TRS or Sparco Sprint? They're around £130-140 which leaves me enough for a harness too. It needs to be moderately comfy, but my arse isn't going to be in it so not too fussed

Help appreciated

My drivers seat is a Suzuka Pro and I find that surprisingly comfy for what it is.
Yeah the Monaco Pro is £170 which is a bit more than I want to pay, ideally want a harness in that as well.

Just check the widths mate as some of the cheaper seats are very slim. Almost as though they're cheap because there's less material used. Would a non bucket recliner be a better option or is it purely for track?

So not over weight, but under height?
She's tiny and I don't really have any big friends so that's not not a problem.

Nothing else helpful to add but every ounce of ocd is running wild now, i'd have to sell the existing seat and have a matching pair. odd seats

I see what you mean mate, just checked on the OMP website and the TRS comes in at 330mm wide! My Suzuka Pro is around 380mm at the narrowest, and that's snug!

Ignore that, the text is small, it's 390
