Well, I have been after some aftermarket seats for a while, and cnanot afford brand new recaros etc so I was looking at second hand....
But I hade a revalation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many dudes have sex in their cars.... ughhh
Leftovers on used seats..... ughhhhhhhh
I HAVE DECIDED TO NEVER BUY A USED CAR SEAT NOW... EVER!
Especially with the majority of the boys in riced up cars getting a shitload of car-hussies doing sexual favours for a ride in an automatic WRX etc.....
Has this ever occurred to anyone other than me?
And back to original question, what is a good non-high priced brand in opinions.

Maybe it's just my lack of imagination (comes with old age I guess lol) but the logistics of sex in a fixed bucket seat are not that great.. Plus, if people have shelled out for decent seats then it's more than likely they'll try to keep them clean..
As for not buying second hand seats EVER... DUDE!! If you've got a second hand car then you already have! And you're probably much more likely to be getting left-overs on the faded/ripped/15-20 year old stock seats that are in there now!!

Well said Lucid!
However back to the topic try some obx seats they range from like 300 to 450 and they are alright slightly heavy but they do the job and look alright and they are either fixed or reclinable whatever you choose. Also as mentioned before sparco sprints are quiet good and priced reasonably and they are fixed bucket seats.

Ok. They have to meet a few standards (like 2 ADR's) and they have to be approved by an engineer. Thats about all I know

On the topic (which is slightly off-topic I know - sorry..) does a two door car need to be registered as a two seater if the front seats are both fixed buckets?

ones without ADR sticker/flag sewn into them.
e.g. my saas seats came with a warning label sewn into them stating that they only complied with ADR rules if you used their specified mounting method (2 x adaptor bars that you drilled holes in to match your factory seat runners).
