Hey guys. I am about to purchase a 1990 GSX and the seats in the car need to be replaced. The back seats are perfect but the driver seat is ripped and what not, so I figured I would just replace both the passenger and the driver seats at the same time. Here is my situation however:
I do not have 400 a seat to spend on actual Sparco racing seats, so after some searching I found a bunch of Generic, no name seats that sell for a price that is much better for me. (meaning I can afford it) my question to you guys is does it really make THAT much of a difference to get name brand over generic? Yes I realize that name brand is better, however is the generic completely unbearable? For the price difference I can handle a bit of difference in the seats... .
Also if you suggest that I do get name brand seats and not generic ones, do you have any suggestions on brands? Also specific models would be greatly appreciated! I am hoping to get 2 seats with sliders for about $200-280 or so. This is for both seats, not 200 each. As I said this will go on a 1g. The generic ones I had found were near this price.
Also as far as mounting brackets go, if I purchase the generic ones, where should I get mounting brackets from? And if you suggest a specific name brand, where should I get the mounting brackets for that one from?
Well thanks a lot and I truly appreciate the help!
