Braum Bucket Seats
Anyone have experience with these seats? They look pretty good minus the back with the fake carbon fiber cloth with the zipper lol. But the price is 1/3 of what similar recaros go for.

side bolsters look low for a sport seat. I guess it is personal preference but I prefer much higher. those would be easy to slide I to though, but wouldn't offer any more support than OEM sprt seats
if you want a cheap reclining buckets with higher sides, maybe check out the corbeau rrb. but note that they dont recline forward only back

I personally would go recaro sportster if i were going that route

My first impression is how bulky they look compared to my GT2 buckets. What's the weight per seat? They look really heavy.

I assume they are bulky because they have side airbags?

Ya’ know Tom, I agree with you but there is one very specific exception. If you order OEM Sports Buckets from Porsche when spec’ing a car, they are (or were in 2011) a $4,000 (or so) option. This is about half of what the seats would cost after-market. Porsche and Bargain are two words that never seem to go together, but in this one case they do.

Another exception to the Porsche/bargain not typically being a good description of the brand was the 997 GTS when sold new. I read somewhere that if you added up all the options on that car based on what they would cost if bought separate you almost got the X-51 kit for free.

Anyway, aftermarket parts price will always be higher individually then what they charge for a whole car. if you built a car from new parts it would probably cost you 10x as much.
