what is the cheapest aftermarker seat available?

All hardware included to install on the drivers side. I'm ready to rip out my front seats I think

If you are planning on spending any time actually driving the car, carefully consider your options. Getting the "cheapest" seat is liable to be both uncomfortable and unsafe (if the seat isn't built to stand up to standard crash safety tests).

Don't get any imitation or knock offs. The Sparco R100 is pretty inexpensive. But what is it you want out of it? You will need to spend some money on brackets and sliders too.

Yeah I said including hardware. It doesn't have to be super comfy, the stock ones sure aren't, just functional. Just looking to save a little weight by having just 1 aftermarket and no passenger. All black no logo is fine as long as its "different" that's fine

I'm interested in hearing you describe how they're not functional.

The stock seats are some of the most functional and comfortable stock seats I've sat in, save some luxury performance vehicles which come standard with Recaro Sport seats.

Corbeau's are pretty cheap. Have a set of CR1s in my other car. Comfortable and good support.

I've been to their local show room and the seats are high quality and very comfortable. They also match well with or interior, but I can't justify purchasing them since our stock seats are so great.

No they're complete seats.
