when it comes to seats, dont just jum in the first deal you find. there is a sticky, read it. its very important. you get what you pay for. those look like disposable seats.

Good seats will run you about 1000+ i think. so think it twice, before you get hurt... wink.gif

all those are sub par UNCERTIFIED ricer brands.

SPARCO brand seats can cost as little as $300 brand new
Corbeau seats are also reasonably priced.


and your link to "BRIDE" seats READ harder.....Bride STYLE, they don't even spell sparco correctly.

don't get pee pee hurt cause you are wrong..and I am by no means god, but you can believe what you like

Playr, PM sent; Waiting on my reply.

Did the company say that the same name brand has the same certification or not?

Seats can be had for about 600-700. My Corbeaus were 650. Then you need to get their sliders/brackets. I paid an additional 200 just for brackets... then the shipping for the seats AND brackets... in the end you will be right at 1000. Don't cheap out on crappy seats. They are cheap for a reason. Are you willing to put your life in a $175 seat? I'm not.
