Default Cobra Milano knockoffs

So I love this seat, but for $1400 each its really a hard choice, however I was just searching and found these for a fraction of the price, actually only $235 for both (that should tell me something) but they do look nice take a look at both.

Milano's


Mad racing Concepts


what you guys think?

Have you seen the new Tenzo R Carbon Fiber ones? The qaulity doesn't compare to the Combra, but better and probably safer than the "Mad racing Concepts". I found them online for 700 each, so ½ the cost of the Cobras.

There's a review on LS1tech about these seats



no they are not the same ones but they ARE Mad Racing, and these got good reviews on quality especially quality of the leather, so one would think those Cobra knockoffs would be somewhat descent.

^^ so it seems, dont matter what theyre in, the point is they got a good review. However I just read something about those Tenzo R Carbon Fiber seats, and people are not impressed, Tenzo is a popular company but not in quality, I hear the materials wear quite quickly and they are not too comfortable.

sigh at knock offs......If you're willing to put your life at risk just to save a few hundred bucks then that is all you.

The reclining / hinge mechanism is what scares me about most knockoffs... Usually they are very poorly made and have a lot of play in them - and who knows what they would do in an accident.

I had a set of knockoffs once, and the hinge is what made me get rid of them in favor of some Corbeaus.
