Considering the Seller has the same exact seats but only also for Caviliars, Ralliart, TRD, et al. .. they are the $200 ebay seat set that shows up when ever you type the world "Seat".

Never seen them in person, however as it would go "you get what you pay for". And if a $950 Bride Brix II can not handel a occupent weighting more then 220lbs safely, I would hardly put my life in the hands of a knock off. Just buy some OEM used seats somewhere. Various Honda Recaros, S14s and what not go on ebay all the time for reasonable prices.

They are not real Nismo. Corbic's right when he says not to put your life into the hands of some knock off.

Read some of the responses in this thread. They don't hold up in an accident.zerothread?id=157722

i bought them, the 'evo style' its $300 shipped

they were comfortable enough sitting in one outside the car

i got some extra s13 brackets to fab up some for the seat, but found GTR seats, so i sold the FISMO ones... to a guy with a civic and an engineless talon... he then sold them to a guy with an EG civic and a 500 AWHP wrx (theyre going in the civic)... ill post up how they turn out for him if he ever installs them

they were brand new, sealed in plastic inside the boxes htey came in. but if you are going to get them, do yourself a favor and get the 'blank' ones that dont say nismo, or TRD or anything on them, youll thank me later

dont plan on racing with these either (i was only getting them as a temporary seat because i am redoing the whole interior of the donor car, it was brown.... until i could find an OEM or reputable, reliable seat that i liked and is comfortable and grippy)

edit> also, they dont just bolt in.... they come with sliders, but not brackets... youll either need the old s13 seat brackets and a little fabbing skill, or bride rails or something

dont get them

if you dont die in an accident, good chance youll come out of it a lemon

just dont...whats your life worth to you?

get used oem seats, or fork over the 600-1000 for real aftermarket seats
