i was thinkin about getting them. anyone have a pic of them in an FC? damn they look nice but i'd like to see them in a car.

 

I heard the e-bay mazdaspeed seats are cheap ripoffs that wear down in a few weeks.

 

wow they look nice...wonder if there is any way to tell if they are real?

 

Look at the price, that is a HUGE indicator that they are knock-offs.

 

I think the if its the same company im thinkin of they sell all different badge seats like that a few people on the mitsu forums have bought those type of seats, but with ralliart stitching on them, I guess there ok for the price nothing fancy.

 

I emailed this guy quite sometime ago! and he said he simply had mazdaspeed stitched to cheap seats they aren't really mazdaspeed!

 

They are not authentic.
The holes in the middle of the seat back are too big.

dude i'm not concerned if they are knockoffs. i KNOW they're cheap, but i dont care. i was just wondering if anyone had them.

 

It's up to you...
"You get what you pay for."
If you get into an accident, do you trust your life to some "cheap" seats?
There has been an alarming trend of cheap aftermarket seats that do not have FIA/TUV certification flooding into the U.S. market recently.  There have been accidents that lead to one-piece seats breaking in half or two-piece seats breaking the reclining mechanisms - both will leads to serious injury of even death.

I'd would rather get a MOMO, Sparco, Koenig (NOT the cheap U.S. rip off), Recaro, Bride or equivalent.  None are cheap, but they have all been proven in competition and have certifications for FIA.

good point RETed

 

do i trust my life to the crappy, faded BLUE, non-supportive, non bolster-having stock NA seats? yes.

do i trust my life to a cheap imitation performance seat that atleast has decent bolster, side supports, and looks 10 times better than a blue stock NA seat that has 170k miles on it? yes.

 

I bought the exact seats, the price was right. after I bid I came on here to see what people said about them, I pretty much got 'you'll die if there not sparcos'. I still haven't mounted them (it's a bitch, you'll need a readilly accessible metal shop) but to be honest I was really surprised at how nice they were. Very comfy, can't tell if they will wear fast, but I got em, so I'll use em. should be in after winter (wisconsin is cold)

 

sweet. this thread is really old

 

Wisconsin isn't that cold damnit! It was -40 up here, and I've been parting a car in an unheated garage!
