I got LEPY 2024A Plus Amplifier £26 from amazon and a Reckhorn Body shaker BS-200 £45. You need to set up some audio software, I used voicemeeter banana. For a budget option it works quite well IMO.
I'm very happy with this little guy here:

As you can see its a german link, unfortunely I cannot find it at Amazon.com. Using it with Voicemeeter Banana to aditionally output the Riftsignal to the optical out of my onboard Realtek Soundcard. Thats going into a standard Amp. and from there into the bodyshaker - no noticeable latency.
Do not forget to set the Voicemeeters EQ so the only signal sent is for the bodyshaker (low pass filter). If you need help let me know.
Got the shaker on amazon. Reckhorn Bs-200 Bass Shaker / Tactile Transducer for Your Home Theater https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AMH17GC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_WzwEwbXJVYEMX
The amp you can get on amazon also, but I got it direct from the amazon seller cheaper. Cannot remember model, but it's a Dayton 70wRMS mono amp procured from parts- warehouse.com
A german product of really high quality: http://www.amazon.de/Bassshaker-Bodyshaker-Körperschallwandler-der-Oberklasse/dp/B00AMH17GC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412349768&sr=8-3&keywords=Reckhorn
I have one like this:

...and 3 of these:

...all attached to my office chair ad they do a great job. I guess you can easily order them to your place.
Don’t know how exactly do you plan to attach the shakers to your setup (or how the setup is built) but I would suggest getting 4 of those Sinuslive’s, get an amp for them plus some nice software to drive them according to the sim’s telemetry data like SimShaker Wheels (that’t the one I use and it’s great) or SimVibe with an additional soundcard and you are good to go.
Buttkicker would be nice of course but that price... It’s so expensive and it’s just one shaker. Surely it works better than those mentioned here but for simracing I would suggest getting 4 shaker’s so you can really set up all the different feedback you can get from a sim game via the add on software.
Edit: just read ‚cockpit’ - I guess same rule applies here maybe not 4 bit 2 would be enough but still eg SimShaker software has a version for DCS, Warthunder, Aerofly and some other flight games. Not sure about SimVibe’s support.
