No offense but I think the words "knockoff" and "Ebay" says it all. Sometimes you get what you pay for. I don't think I'd cheap out on seats

Get a pair of authentic fixed Sparco seats. Some are relatively affordable like the R100 or Chrono 2.

I would ask on the civic forums, they will have a lot more experience with them.

Red Sparco Fighters!!! Super comfy, sexy and awesome. I wouldn't do knock off's. The seat is the last thing you want to break if you're in a wreck.

I recommend sticking with a manufacturer that produces FIA certified seats. Even if you buy one of their non certified seats (which are cheaper), at least you know the company knows how to make a proper seat.

Seats are a safety item first and foremost. Style is secondary to safety. We do carry Cipher seats, but I'd recommend an OMP or a lower end Sparco for just a bit more money than the Ciphers.

Take a look at our seat selection on the website. There's also a few more seats that we can get for you that may not be on the website yet, so feel free to ask. Also, if you PM me I can take care of your order personally and we can usually give forum members more competitive pricing.

^ that. you people want to die or something? i got a sparco sprint for 250 shipped once, get that or keep your stock seats. actually do what you want, the world can afford to lose a few cheap people.

but seriously, if you ever want to do some motorsports you need an approved seat.
