i used to have the cobra opus fast road seats,they're really good for round town and are really hugging but they get uncomfortable on longish journeys.cheap though!! dunno if you guys get em over there.

comfort and racing dont mix

definately look into reclinable seats such as the Recaro SRD or the Bride Brix or Ergo

I had a pair of Sparco Star seats. Comfortable and held me in great in the turns.

I didnt like the fine adjustability of the seatback. I like it quick like OEM. When I bought the seats . the hardware wasnt included so I had to bring the seat to a hardware store to match up everything.
The seat bracket didnt have a mount on it so I can bolt on the stock seatbelt buckle so I had to make my own with an L-bracket. Weird thing is that they had a mount on the generation civic b4 mine.

ITR Recaros pretty comfortable for racing seats. Sparco milanos are excellent also! if u dont want to dish out the cash for milanos the torinos will work too...they just dont have the back support *or did i mix the two up? one of the sparcos i was in had pretty good back support cant remember which....*

i had a sparco sprint, non reclinable, comfy holds real well but takes a good workout gettin in and out. i have a few friends that have the recaro srds and those hold very nicely and snug, reclines as well, great seats. sold my sprint for something more comfy and reclines, not as snug as srds but gets the job done.

I'd have to agree with these both.

Never get a non-reclinable if you plan on daily driving.
