Shit for 300 bucks pretty good deal for two seats all you need to do is change out the mounting brackets from your seats to it I would think. Replica JDM type- r seats not to bad looking.



I would say do it. Shit I might even do it for my dd.

they are ok, i have them but in red. they seem alright but i picked mine up locally brand new for 150 at the time i still have them they kinda faded now but if you can get them cheaper than yea id say it would be alright but id pass if you had to pay that much for them. i know you can get the knock off bride seats on ebay. for around that price.

and i think its weksos that has those same seats maybe a little better quality.

I've thought about picking up ebay seats too, but those are pretty expensive for knock off brands on ebay, I've seen some for 200-250 with the brackets, but I guess it's bc those are suede

I have seats similar to those in my car, they're comfy but they kinda flex a little it seems like but its not noticeable while driving. I mostly notice it when I plop down into my seat haha.

Overall for the price they look great and do a fine job of keeping you in place when swinging around turns or whatnot.

They would just look better with the "Recaro" stiched in :D

Would you consider them to be safer than stock seats? I'm thinking about picking some up in the future.

Yeah I would probably consider them a bit safer, because they keep you more "planted" in an you seem to slide around less. The only thinkg though for me is the plastic cutout for a harness is about where my head is so if you hit your head on that it would kind of hurt I guess, Im 5'8".

i would not consider them safer than oem.....def not... oem has to pass inspection and safety codes. while aftermarket companies do not
