Admit it. You need new seats. Racing seats are a must for enthusiasts who drift, go to the track, or take any form of racing seriously. They can improve driver control and, more importantly, safety.

If you’re thinking about getting racing seats, only buy from trusted brands. When your safety is at stake, take zero risks and choose only high-quality seats. To give racing enthusiasts confidence about what brands to go with, we provide our favorites and how to use eBay Motors marketplace for finding racing seats that best meet your needs.

Common Racing Seats

The two most common racing seats you will find browsing eBay Motors are regular bucket and adjustable bucket seats. Bucket seats are lighter than conventional seats, hold a driver in place, and can prevent or reduce the severity of injuries.

An adjustable bucket seat does exactly what it sounds like, giving drivers added comfort with the ability to adjust the height and angle. However, comfort like this comes at a potential cost of safety as they may not offer the same snug feeling that a regular bucket seat will.

Halo seats are another option that add even more protection to the driver. The first thing that visually stands out about halos compared to bucket seats is the added head wings that extend out on both sides of where the head rests. Usually these seats fall under FIA approval, the international governing body regulating motor sport safety.

For the safest option available on the market, full containment seats are your best bet. These offer more layers of protection, with wings offering further protection to a driver’s head, shoulders, and more.

Trusted Brands And Racing Seats

For a comfortable bucket seat, the Racetech RT4119HRW caters to different shapes and sizes. It’s available in three sizes—standard, tall, and wide/tall—so make sure to buy the one that best suits you.

Two adjustable bucket seats come recommended from trusted brands that up the comfort factor for racing enthusiasts. The first is Recaro’s Sportster GT, which has a reinforced polymer-based backrest and looks really stylish too. The other option comes from Sparco, who is responsible for developing the Lamborghini Diablo’s adjustable carbon fiber seat. Sparco applies the same approach to its SPX Carbon seats while meeting OEM specifications.

For halo racing seats, Sparco offers comfort, safety, and customization all in one. The Sparco Ergo and Ergo II come with detachable halo wings for greater versatility. Sparco makes another halo, the QRT-R, that comes in two sizes and won’t break the bank.

In case you’re considering a full containment seat for your racing needs, the Kirkey 70 Series is a high-quality option. Made specifically for entry level short track racing, Kirkey makes these seats with high quality aluminum. Plus, there’s adjustable head and shoulder restraints, openings for five or six seatbelts, and even a cutout for a HANS device.
