look at it this way man.. if you guy buy a pos ebay quality seat... your asking for trouble.

a seat is a very important piece of safety. with a shitty seat, if you get in a bad collision, that thing will collapse on you, and snap your back so fast.

its not worth it. get a seat from corbeau, only 220$ for the forza.

be smart and get a seat made by a quality company.

had one buckle on my friend at a drift event when he hit the wall and his back was pretty messed up.

the cheaper seats are built for slower speeds, and probably a little bigger of a car..a back isnt something to mess with, once u mess that up its messed up for the rest of your life. i have friends who messed thier necks and backs up with sparco seats. granted they werent driving like they should have been, any seat can mess you up, but minimize that risk by getting better seats, i dont wanna see a fellow FD owner out of comission because of costco seats

IMO, a seat from costco, napa, schucks, autozone, or any of the like is only good for making a gaming chair out of it. I wouldn't dare put something like that in any of my vehicles. I've seen quality seats that were mangled in a wreck, what do you think that plastic piece of crap is going to do?

I'd rather wear a harness without a roll cage than be sitting in a low quality seat, which both are asking for trouble.

you also might have fitment issues with those seats. Tragic00 is right, get some corbeaus. but you can still go to costco however, they have good pizza.
