I read this on the Aero Designs website...

"All Aero Designs seats undergo rigorous testing and meet very specific standards. "

I think they will respond to my email and i am very curious as to what these seats go through even if it is not FIA approved. So lets all chill and get all the facts instead of throwing around all these meaningless opinions

+1 please post up what you find and contact AD directly not some vendor.

Why'd you get seats with side helmet restraints if you have no intentions of tracking your car?

They look like BRIDE seats. However, the materials used to manufacture them are cheap and inferior compared to the ones that go into seats that actually pass crash testing. I already showed you the difference between a quality engineered product vs. a cheap chinese replica in the other thread.

Also, I believe you have myself and Adam from Z1 (your so-called 'Timmy') confused. In any case, you've thoroughly proven what an idiot you are to everyone who's read either thread.


Turbozzzz.... NAWZZZZ.... Tommy Kaira emblemzzz ... race seatzzzz....

Hardcore streetracer fanboi much?

Superf*ckingLOL

IF you read everything I said I was just testing to see what I like and if I wished to track the car it would have to be FIA certified. That is fine if it is made cheaply as this is a test!


Thanks for trying Eric now put on your helmet and stop sniffing the glue.

+1 I also think the info is not around to show the value of diff replicas.

Honestly I think the replica seats are what most wish body kit replicas did. Instead everyone loves to mod a body kit more than seats or else it would be the same with everything. Instead tons of replica body kits have quality reviews but no one does reviews on replica seats. There IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY that there is a replica seat with basic quality for street use. "caped so Eric can see, he some times sees doubles when he has had to much Elmers."

I would think you need more protection on a street car vs a track car because like previously posted a track car has a roll cage and the whole ten yards.

True but why do they have a roll cage?

Not because there held to less safety standards.

Because racing is a higher risk thus your seat can only be 6yrs old or under till your in FIA violation.

Is this something you think or know? If you have found how AD puts there seats together and what material as well as the process of creating the design i would really like to see it. This is more of a learning about the Aero Design seats kind of thread. Because if you do not know how the seat was made then you have absolutely no say at all. The point of most threads like these is to gather all the information about the SPECIFIC product and analyze it. I know there are seats out there that are actually junk but the whole point is to prove it. Because just saying they are Chinese does not do me or anyone else trying to learn any good. I am currently waiting for some feedback on some testing that AD goes through with these seats and until then i don't see how anyone can say they are complete trash without seeing all the info.

So Robbinsj how much more uncomfortable is the seat compared to the stock one? There can't be a whole lot of padding in there but im not sure which is why i ask.

Not feeling that striped pattern on the seat cushions...all black would look alot less cheesy. Way too aggressive for my liking though. If you like it, then thats all that matters.

Also this is the first time I have ever changed the OEM seats in any of my cars so I have yet to really set myself on the tyle that I will like best. Think I will try diff types and brands before I settle on what is right for me.

This thread was made to help others that might have considered these but where not able to simply test like I am.
I frankly don't care what seats you get or your reasoning. I'm just curious bout your argument...

You say that you can not justify the extra $ for tested and proven seats just because of what this forum says. Yet you would rather spend however much money these seats cost, only to run the risk that you may need to replace them? Then spend more money to buy Recaro/Bride or whatever authentic company to replace your cheap knock-offs.... How is that money well spent? Why not just do it right the first time?

Also, you say you don't need seats that pass rigorous testing such as Recaro/Bride, but isn't it better knowing that something that holds your body in place inside a moving vehicle is overkill? I mean for me I would rather have more safety.

You say you're doing this as a test to give other forum members a review of other things out there. I don't know you, and I could care less what you spend your money on, but I'm sure most of the forum members would rather you not put your life at risk just for the sake of reviewing something cause there are no reviews on it.

just my 2cents
