Ok guys i want to buy these seats here at the shop, and everyone says not too, but cant give me an answer. They're black Tenzo Rs for 600 bucks w/ sliders and brackets for my car. I really want opinions on these and if you have something bad to say about them please PM and not piss of the mods and get my thread closed. And also what is another nice set of seats for that price range ($600). I dont want the low grade non adjustable sparcos. Let me know guys, I need to pick up this weekend if you think they're good for the price.

Also: 600 bucks sounds kind of high i know, but you have to consider the prices you see elsewhere for these things. Elsewhere it may say 450 bucks but thats w/out shipping and sometimes universal brackets... :thumbdown

APC as in Pepboys stuff? (American Product Racing)

Yes Sparco has adjustible seats but not in the budget im looking at

Sparcos are nice, no doubt. I plan on getting the RalliArt seats for me though.

There are several different types of seats what kind of budget are you looking at?

Yes Pepboys does carry APC products but have you actually look at thier seats? Apc was around before Pepboys started carrying them. Thier seats look pretty decent. I don't know how they would hold up in the long run.

I personally have Corbeaus in my VW. But if or when i put seats in my eclipse I will go with somthing else.

i have seen them in a car. they look ok but i dont think they offer the support that one keeps in mind when looking for a racing seat. way to soft for my taste.

go to ebay - type in eclipse seats - there's tons of sweet ones on there for less than $200 a pair

same here. the ralliart ones are goin in mine.

Summit Racing plastic seats. Non-adjustable, hard, super light, and $70 a pair.

i reely like the DAD seats. their comfortable n pretty lite. Also the new liteglow ones their also reely comfortable. Anyone try the new bride brix 2 seats?

I am getting a pair of Corbeau FX1 seats.

Don't be cheap and buy cheap seats. I know of many people who have been rearended with tenzo R's and cheap seats and the brakcets break, or the seat actually breaks. They suffer greater injurys and I wouldn't trust any ebay seat. If you want cheap that works, get some kind of summit seat. Sparco will be expensive but I have heard nothing bad about them. Corbeau also makes good seats as far as I know. I am personally getting some sparco evo seats for my car this year.

I have a set of Tenzo R Rally seats. They're okay, but I would go nicer next time. The plastic trim for the harness pass through don't hold together very well and I had to epoxy mine together. Also the Rally seats have really high sides which make it difficult to get in and out for those who don't regularly get in them. Also I've seen some red Tenzos like mine that faded very badly and had the same problems with the plastic trim. My future plans are to sell the Tenzos and buy one really nice Sparco, and reupholster a stock front seat to look like my reupholstered rear seat and interior. I'm not worried if the passenger slides around in their seat. That and I won't hear the complaining about how hard it is to get in and out anymore. All in all I have enjoyed the Tenzo seats, but I have learned, and would go a different route next time.

They have some cheap seats but they also have some solid looking Matrix ones covered in vinyl. Free shipping too.

Ok. I too was wondering the same.

In addition to the two seats what else would you need to install?

The brackets, and if those don't work right, then you have to modify them.

ive seem both of those on ebay for 200'ish a pair

Did anybody install corbeau seats with there bracket? did it raise the seat to high or shifted the seat to the left? looking to get a fx1

This may not be very successful but try searching on craigslist, my buddy found a set of recaro racing seats with brackets for just over $300.

If your on a tight budget jazz makes some affordable super light weight seats if you don't mind them being a polymer plastic only downside is the padded covers are sold seperately another less budgeted seat option would be kirkeys, hoping to put some in my car this spring after the build.

F1 racing make some great seats affordable and made in america

+1 on craigslist

I got a lightly used kirkey aluminum seat with cover for 60$. I made a bracket for about 10$.

I'm looking at a jegs brand plastic seat for the passenger.

+1 for Craigslist. I have a kirkey seat as well, didn't get it off Craigslist but I see seats all the time on there.

I would recommend Status bucket seats. Made in the USA, affordable, good quality and no replicas.
