btw that is canadian dollars too! and the USD is worth 52% more then teh canadian dollar!
Any ideas what the reclinable seats are on this same site? Generically listed and no pics any bigger than a nickel. Decent price if they are any good.

$35 US shipping on one seat.

The sparco sports aren't embroidered like the corbeau forza's are. They also have the sparco's embroidered but its another 30 bucks can.

Essentially the sports are a little less nice than the forza's but you save 20 bucks on the same seat.

Knock-off seats are knock-off seats. There's a dude trying to sell D.A.D.s for $450... People don't realize that these seats are NOT FIA approved for a reason. IMO, whoever puts these seats in a car is a ricer, simply because he paid too much for an item that only really "looks" good. Someone who truly wants to turn their car into a performer would not go with un-tested, non-approved seats.

If they cost 300/pair, I would buy them-- simply to replace my warn-out seats. Otherwise, I'd rather spend $440 on a pair of FIA approved, non-reclining Corbeaus.

Yeah, I called automotive warehouse and after being put on hold 4 times and lost in the phone shuffle a couple times they came back with the prices. I think if you want to buy anything from them you should go to a bank and convert your USD to CAN here. I question their conversion rate.

They quoted me $75 USD for shipping of 32lbs of product. (two seats) I can send a damn motor across the country Fedex for that! I can understand a little surcharge for the big box, but thats crazy...

Had a guy here at the office buy a set of those D.A.D. seats for his porshce....The look nice, fell nice, and work well....He doesn't road race (I don't think many people actually do) and we wanted to replace the worn out recarro's that were in there. Paid $405.90 to buy them and have them shipped to him. Install was SIMPLE and painless.

Worth the $$ IMO
