- $900 Sparco seat vs. $450 Corbeau seat. Does more expensive mean more better? And is it worth it? Let’s find out.
We bought two identical 350Zs and have been modifying them to be FUN, daily drivers that you can take to the track. James Pumphrey and Zach Jobe are on Team Hi, and their car gets the expensive parts. Nolan Sykes and Aaron Parker are on team Low. Their car gets the cheap ones.
Then we test them to see which components are actually worth spending the money on.
We’ve been focusing on improving our cars performance, but today we’re focusing on the interior...performance. So we’re going to be throwing in new seats, and ALSO adding in roll cages and harnesses.
Team Hi got $900 Sparco QRT-R seats.
Team Low I got $450 Corbeau FX1 Pro seats.
Cars aren’t necessarily one-size-fits all. Especially small sports cars like our Zs. You might find the stock driving position uncomfortable. Sometimes the seats don’t hold you well enough going around a corner and you get flung to the side. If you’ve got short legs and a long torso, or long legs and a short torso, things just might not feel right.
That’s where aftermarket interior parts can come in. A race seat can hold you in place better and make it easier for you to corner hard… or it can be horribly uncomfortable if it doesn’t fit your body right. Maybe the more expensive seat has a nicer quality material on it, but the overall shape and size of the seat is really going to be a matter of personal preference. The cheaper seat might be the right choice anyway if it’s going to be easier to live with and drive in every day.
Even though Nolan is going with a cheaper option he didn't go with the cheapest option. All of his stuff is FIA approved.

Hi-low: expensive vs cheap production crews
Guess we're getting it rn cuz of the quarantine
@izphuzzy pros most likely edit on premiere & after effect
lol
it's more time instead of money in all honesty. it could be all the same guy lol
Thats a cheap shot lol pun intended
“We bought almost identical 350z’s”
“Both cars have been smoked in and smell like casinos”
Crazy coincidence 😂
Did I hallucinate or did they say the stock seats were full of farts 😂?
Pier-Luc Garand Dion no you didn’t
Pier-Luc Garand Dion Yes they did

"basically we took an entire day to do something that should have taken 2 hours, but cars is cars"
Been. There.🙄😬🤯
Was working on a friend's AW11 doing rear suspension bushings. Should have taken like 8 hours tops to do everything, but turned into a 3 day ordeal trying to get one stupid hardened steel bolt out.
@Zane Winyard frozen bolt on my brake caliper, same situation should have taken 30 minutes tops turned into a day of trying to unfreeze the bolt
MITCXHELLXGEIST try some map gas 👍 stuff works great and definitely gets hotter than butane, also sometimes using your jack to jack up the ratchet works wonders haha
Zenyth Gaming lol I’ve bent breaker bars using the jack haha not that you shouldn’t do it that bolt was ridiculous I sold the car over it
I always tell my fiancée when I work on my car it’ll take anywhere from an hour to 3 days
This makes me wanna spend money I don't have.
That's how building cars goes.
Cam Bryan facts
Because if this series I wanted to turbo a 1999 Toyota Camry at 15 years old
You can't spend money that you don't have. It's physically impossible.
There's this magical thing called credit. 👈😉
I like how a $450 seat is the “cheap seat” . Should have been a Facebook market place $50 seat.
no shit, they shoulda done the JEGS / summit seats
narmale or ebay special lmao
well yeah corbeau is still a good quality seat in this price range...cant compare to fake bride or wtv
I mean it needs to be a upgrade compare to the stock seat, not just slap the cheapest stuff on the car.
Exactly what I just post!
The last time i was this early nos energy drink is still flowing on james veins
Hi
Lol
Actually what happens to the sponsor did they stop doing it becuz of james heart attack
@Jacob Taylor NOS is pretty good tho
@Jacob Taylor How would it look bad on NOS? Energy drinks don't give people heart attacks lol
“If I don’t finish these 2z’s I can’t see my son be born” 😂😭😭
*Nolan's head almost touches the roof of the car*
Me : *laugh in 160cm*
Would got more likes had you used inches 😁
Me: cry in 150cm
What is that in Americans?
It’s about 5’3”
6'4 gang
“Do you like that my seat has a six pack” 🤣
Countach wants to know your location
And 7 inches 😂😂😂
I just gave you your 666th like
Lol no🙄🙄
870*
low car should of got a $5 wooden stool from ikea because weight reduction.
cloud ix 😂 no just get rid of it only real drivers have no seat
it would still be heavier those sparco seats weigh nothing as said in the video
I like the random welder guy giving fire safety advice he is a good boy
I had that exact Corbeau seat in my racecar for a year. Loved it. First race was a 2 hour endurance race, and the comfort part helped greatly. I’d happily get those seats again.
What floor panels did you get for it
@@RoughShift it was a 1991 Integra, so I only used the bracket kit they offered on their site
More expensive is always better. I bought a racing chair once and i could easily beat my enemies on runescape.
But can it do this?? __/ -> ____
Better be osrs no rs3 shit playa
More expensive is not always better, but that is the minority of cases
Grumpy Gramps I’ll play osrs after I trim comp
no way
I honestly love HiLow. My favorite new "series" on UA-cam right now! Y'all are doing great with this
I agree! I watch ever episode. Great addition
More than the cars it's the chemistry between hosts. Also, the shop boys have personality and aren't just saying " so we're putting x into z and that's pretty much it".
I love how two of the “cheap seats” equals the same amount for one Sparco seat
I love the explanation given by Aaron about how the seat should feel! I never knew I wanted to know that.
8:48 Im pretty sure Nolan is doing a reference of that bus driver wich drive all elegant and fancy
100%
For those curious, search youtube for "gay bus driver shifting gears". It's a classic

Thanks for the link! That was hilarious!
I'm already ready for the next season Of Hi-Lo
Already my favorite show on UA-cam
Heavy Palmz their making another season?
@@lukeallen91 yep son
4:45 that moment is just pure honesty between the channel and the viewer and I love that and this channel.
I can’t tell you important this series is. I love it. Such comparisons are so hard to find and you guys make episodes over episodes about it.
I actually really like my Corbeau seat. Great price for a FIA certified seat. Was a nice change not holding on for dear life sliding around my OEM seat on the track.
Corbeau is the one company that makes a good cheap seat. And they've got decent looking models too.
Corbeau fx1 is not fia approved
@@brianjewell4139 exactly, I'm surprised they didn't go with something like NRG given their price point
@@jonbanaitis2992 that must have changed recently, because that was the sole reason I bought it at that price point (4 years ago) was because it was FIA approved.
@@jonbanaitis2992 They did in fact make FIA Approved seats that were about $200 more than the non approved versions. I dont see nearly as many now on their website, looks like it changed. Also I totally Expected something from NRG which like you said would've made it a much Lower to Higher comparison lol
You guys should do a hi/low episode comparing quality of dads featuring James' dad
bro.....
great idea!
For April 1.
Next Up on HiLow:
Red Seatbelts vs. Black Seatbelts
Red and race start with the same letter. Just sayin
Red makes you go faster, so the choice is obvious.
I love you guys and what separates you from the rest of car media in general is obviously your humor, but I think your honesty with us goes under-appreciated. You literally talked about the whole “deadline” thing I didn’t like about a lot of car mod shows and you said it in full clarity to the viewer. Just wanted to say, mad respect, love you guys.
Bruh is there gonna be a low roll cage and hi roll cage episode haha 😂😂😂
Edit: OMG THX SOOO MUCH FOR THE LIKES
And will they roll the cars to test them? 😂
The day we see Nolan die
69th likes
@Asuka Langley Just about to do a Lancia level move
Yeah, will the low roll cage still keep you alive 😂😂
James' honesty about the production shit makes me love him as a host even more because he's not trying to front like doughnut is a million dollar a day company, doughnut is everyone's shared baby and he's honest about shit that comes with running a production team etc ❤❤❤
“ZOLTAN!!!”. Everytime they do the “Z” with their hands, that’s all I can Think of...
Lovin this series! It's fun, and interesting at the same time! Keep up the good work!
Actually to avoid this problem,driving position,corbeau can make the seats that you ordered shorter,in request.
doesnt that also lower the head rest? its already pretty low
edit: i was thinking it was a smaller seat size like the lowest headrest setting in a stock seat
@@Eduardo_Espinoza They make the bottom cushion thinner. Saves you about an inch. The back and headrest are unchanged.
@@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342 oh maybe the cushion can be broken in about an inch some how or later
I believe they shave the frame or something like that, to give an additional inch of head room, but the option is on selected seats, IIRC; however, I could be wrong on both accounts, it's been a while since I ran with a Corbeau.
@@Miami_Bad_Boy_BOSS this is probably the first time ive seen a conjunctive adverb being used in a youtube comment 😄👍 is that also a compound complex clause?
Should have gone for a -
1. 100$ craigslist seat
VS
2. 900$ seat
What Aaron said at 4:00 about the seats supporting not your legs really blew my mind. I’m 6’5” and this is how I’m forced to drive every every car I’ve ever been in, it never occurred to me that the seat was supposed to hold the weight
Same here I'm 6'3 and always drive uncomfortably
I really like that you guys make this type of videos now. Thank a lot, good job.
"Gotta make sacrifices if you want to be a hot boi" yet James is removing heated seats....hmmm very interesting 🤔🤔
"Hot bois" are guys with modded cars. Mostly for aesthetic purposes.
He doesn't mean heated seats.
@@huatseng6037 but he's removing the HEATED seats, can't become a hot boi if you don't have HEAT
@@huatseng6037 I have a modded out 2013 jetta sportwagon 2.0 TDI. nothing much to do other than aesthetics parts, because I like my 40mpg, also wagon life.
@@readmyusernamecauseitssoreally hot bois are a term, similar to the word ricers and tuners and etc.
@@readmyusernamecauseitssoreally he's sacrificing his heated seats for something else, the sparco seats. To be a "Hot Boi" you have to have the branded stuff on your car that will look aesthetically pleasing (Sparco Seats looks a lot better than the stock ones). Again he isn't really talking about "having Heated seats" but being "cool/having a cool car with the racing seats".
"The stock seats are also full of farts."
that was the best comment in the vid!
This is a mighty car mods reference from like 10 years ago
This is my favourite series by your channel. Good job guys
This series is too perfect its helping me alot with my current ls2 rx8
This is such a great series, feel like I've learned a lot for my future project car. Thanks so much for doing all these!
What’s your project car?
7:22 feels like something you would actually see on tv right before a commercial break
I’m looking forward to yall’s next series with hopefully a bigger budget and lots of the kinks worked out. This series is great mostly because we like watching you guys figure out what the heck you are doing not really because it’s a good comparison.
I love these episodes please don’t stop making them !!!!
"doesn't directly improve the performance of the car" loosing 40kg/100lbs, definitely will improve performance.
or8t I think they meant in terms of horsepower/torque, friend. Not weight reduction.
Handgun777 weight reduction does improve performance though. At 100 pounds thats a good chunk of weight that will make the car feel slower since the engine has to carry it and now that it doesnt its more efficient. More efficient = more acceleration. Take a couple hundred pounds off a truck and tell me it doesnt perform better.
@@Attachments. 100 pounds can feel like alot , depending on the car.
My old mk1 gti was a fun car until you added a passenger and lost that edge.
370z seats weight 47lbs each
sparco QTR seats are 25 with padding,
50 doesn't equal 100
@@narmale Good point. I'm thinking of changing from BMW seats that Ligit can weight 25/50lb+
4:34 say that again but slowly James
DragonPl4yz huh
DragonPl4yz 😂
@@commentnoises5751 you dont understand the james' dad joke?
DragonPl4yz yes but why say it slowly
this series is fantastic! an its on trending! nice work guys!
This is the best episode that I have seen so far. At least both of them were out to fold their sleeves up to learn things together... kudos bro!
That intro tho
Pretty sick 👌
7:39 really hit me bruh. bruh
I like this series keep up the good work 🤙🏻
So good. Great content and production
The cheap seat costs as much as my car. 😂
What car
The cheap seat costs 2 times what i payed for a 98 blazer lmao
the cheap seats cost MORE than my car...
The cheap seat cost 7x more than my friends cheap racing seat...
That’s a cheap car
Alright, what happen for James to say "Ask me before hugging me at a car show"
Dude he had a heart attack lucky to be alive
That might have been a brain catching up to the mouth sentence.
Because he said he loves hugs
I just got a 350z and this channel give me so much knowledge on what not to do haha and what to do!!
Love all the shows. You guys are fantastic!!! Thanks for taking one for the team! #boostcreeps
When I was in the market for seats, I thought I wanted the sparco evo 3’s until I sat in them. Super uncomfortable and too tight. I ended up with corbeau fx1 pros and they fit way better and are comfortable enough for long drives to the track. Everyone that sits in them says the same thing.
swisher5weet I had an old set of used corbeau seats don’t know the model , but they where super comfy and I loved them , better than any oem seat I ever sat in and held you like a gentle hug, after that next bucket seats I buy will also be corbeau
@@austinthesinister9635 Guess you never sat in any non econo turd American cars from the 80's. Zero bolstering, but they were like riding down the highway on a couch.
yeah this is probably the first time they did instead of hi/low did a hi/mid, since corbeau is still considered a good quality seat vs a $250 dollar pair from ebay lol. luv the show but many of the other things they have done also have a mid level cost that could be just as good as the hi but better than the low
Honestly it is crazy to see Aaron Walker at work after seeing him on hyperdrive
You guys are awesome!!! I work for Nissan. I love my 370 as much as I loved my two 350s before it. So videos like this make me really happy! 😃 as I’m sure many others. All I can say Is thank you!! I wish and hope one day I could be a part of something this amazing.
One of the greatest racing car channels on youtube!!!
Waiting to see when that turbo goes in
I think they did already
Molly Lewis nah they didnt
its on their facebook
They did it's on FB. 3500$ single vs 8100$ twin turbo kit. But thx for playing
I got that sparco flat bottom steering wheel! I love it!!! I might have to get me some sparco seats now for the Z. Thanks guys for making this series! It is so fun to watch!!!
I am really liking this series. You should keep doing it with different categories like drift, time attack, atuox, off-road, domestic, trucks, etc
Last time I was this early Science Garage was a thing.
RIP science garage
Hated that segment, it was really boring
@@jesusrios444 I loved it. Taught me alot on how I can improve my car myself
Next $1000 bodykit vs $30000 bodykit lol, happy new year guys
Probably for the next car
Rewatching this because I'm looking at seats and I actually teared up because I felt so bad for Nolan when the seat didn't fit after the roll bar. Thanks guys for becoming vicarious friends! Love you all
10:09 hit me right in the feels. Considering I've spent the past several months on an engine refresh for my z that should have taken a few weekends. I'm hitting roadblock after roadblock but knowing I'll get it back on the road, and on the track makes it all worth it.
Not first but early....
Happy New Year from Jamaica 🎆❇✨🇯🇲
You forgot "swear" lol. "you bleed, sweat, and 'swear'" haha
Maybe throw some things break some things
Gonna like and comment so they can keep making money and keep upgrading the cars, I love this show!! UA-cam is the new TV
so iv been following these builds for a while, but realized iv never subscribed until today... well better late then never:) also post notification on!
on this episode of too high for me to afford and absurdly too high for me to afford
The whole "If we don't finish these two Zs in time" thing had me dying 🤣
It's great to see James healthy and happy 💥🍀
This HiLow series is great 👍👍
You should make a show called “fixing low car”
That will be the next season of money pit
i would like to see a compromise in the middle as well as the 2 extremes.
I just bought a pair of Corbeau seats for my 08 Nismo. I absolutely love them. They fit well and are very comfortable.
Lets go team! Love this channel.
I've been watching for a couple days and the content is great but every time y'all say "more better" I laugh
That moment when you're watching your favorite car channel and then see your own car at the end. I'm so honored to have my corvette and my instagram handle on a donut video 😍
This is easily the most useful video series out there lol
I just bought an 06 350z two weeks ago! These videos are the best thank you so much. I'm a Z boi now haha

I didn't know the Z's stereo system was looking like that. Bouy I'm getting me one!
I remember watching the colour change vid ages ago... Is it being reuploaded or something? Ive been noticing that about the hi low videos lately.
i was thinking the same thing. i think they are just re-uploading them idk why
Yes and no. It was a Facebook only show originally. But people like me hate watching on Facebook. So they been releasing them on UA-cam.
