Default Racing Seats Install Opinions

Ok I got 2 pais of racing seats a set of all red and a black and red pair as you can see on the pics. I know they r not Sparcos or anything but they are really comfortable and the price was well under half of a Sparco seat. LOL

What do you think? All red or the Black/Red combo I should put?

Also They have universal sliders and I need brackets (new ones) for this seats I beleive. Where can i find them to fit and how much ball park figure. I really need this info as I dont knot where to get this brackets nor would I know if Im being overpriced or not. Please let me know.

What you thik of this? By the way my car is SS.

thsoe types of seats are typically secured from the bottom, similar to Sparco's Milano/Turino line. etc.

you'll most likely need a TABBED seat mount.
similar to this:

YES! We all know its a cheap brand but hey for almost FREE racing seats then I will not mind. And just to let you know they are opening a second line of products for S2000's, 350Z's and other real sport cars.

Please do not put those seats on your car.

Buy "bomz"(ebay crap) anything=attrocity/cheap..You're buying a seat, you're buying your safety bro. Sparco is no cheap ripoff either. I'd put my money and my safety into a good brand. IMO

are you getting these off ebay?
check out the entry momo, sparco, corbeau seats...
legitimate seats but not expensive...
these ebay seats might risk ur safety during the unthinkable

i'd rather buy one quality (legitimate FIA approved) black seat and leave the passenger one stock than buying two lesser quality seats...
tubular steel seats are the worst kind of seats... because when you crash it doesnt absorb alot of the shock...
fiberglass, carbon kevlar framed seatsare the ones you want realistically
aluminium backed seats is the one you dream

when am i not a cynic?
i think about crashing for god's sake hahaha

have fun with your bomz racing seats
