Author Message   Gearhead Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 07:24 pm:        Greetings guys, My Spyke suit is shot and I need to replace it. I'm, 5'-11", 200lbs. and want a high quality suit but I'd like to find one in the $900.00 range or less. Any thoughts, suggestions or where to buy? Thanks in advance!! www.racingwithralph.blogspot.com   White79bu Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 07:53 pm:        Try looking for a Teknic Speedstar on closeout. I bought a speedstar on closeout over the winter and am very happy with it so far. The suits do run small so you need to buy one that is a size bigger than you normally wear. I bought a 48 even though I normally wear a 46. It fits good but is a little tight. The suit seems to be built like a tank and weigh's as much as one!. I think I bought it for $800 or so.   Buellsrule Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 09:33 pm:        Ralph, depending on how you carry your 200 lbs, this one should work: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=160340044115 If you're 200 is mostly in the middle, you should probably keep shopping. This suit is one super nice suit. Thanks, Frank.   Gearhead Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 09:48 pm:        Frank, Thanks for the heads up, that's actually the size I'm looking for.   Paint_shaker Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 10:17 pm:        I am pretty happy with the Fieldsheer suit I have. It is the "Flex" suit, one below their top of the line. MSRP is $799-879. I picked mine up, barely used for $200.

I absolutely love mine.   Eboos Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - 01:21 pm:        PM sent.   Josh_ Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - 02:32 pm:        ebay ebay ebay I got a new AGV 1pc for $200 (reg $600+) but I only looked for a few days.   Slaughter Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - 04:52 pm:        Ebay ... not bad IF you know what size you need. You might budget an additional $250 for alterations if needed. Think spine protector - a danged good idea - and required by every known race organization. A cheap Ebay suit isn't a bad way to go - for a first suit - but realize that if you (like me) are not "average" in size, no suit really fits without tailoring... and spine pads are worth buying new.   Rocketsprink Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - 10:11 pm:        try the speed and strength or spidi suits
