I JUST WONT STOP WILL I!?!?

sorry to be back again... im feeling like a complete newb, but low budget= sketchy companies i guess.

what about weapon R seats?

Dont even take the price into consideration, because, well... the "Its inexpensive so it must be crap" theory.... I dont really buy into it.. come on, i got my car for $600. And while the seats i started with in this post may have been absolute s***, Im sure that just because something doesnt break the bank doesnt mean it MUST be waiting to break my BACK (in the case of seats), and I have heard of weapon-r before, just never really heard about their quality either way (good or bad) anyone have experience with them *I really only want to hear about experience, not just speculation...*

thanks!

edit- P.S. I am talking about the Spec-K's or Tsukubas, not the Spec-r's.. i dont like the r's for some reason, plus they seem less quality

just as everyone else stated, these cheap ebay seats will buckle on you in an event of a crash. and you will be in heaven. or hell. who knows.

weapon r, tenzo r, APC, all those aren't tested, try to stay away from those, you will be glad. i have sat in a pair of ebay race style seats, and they use the cheapest hardened styrofoam type filling, it's very uncomfortable. the material is cheap also.

find yourself a nice sparco. i have the most inexpensive model, the sprint junior, and it's one of the best investments for my car. these are also FIA approved. if you ever decide to track, u will have no problem passing inspection.

Make sure your harness is a 5 point since you dont want the sides to lift up and hit your upper abominal below your rib cage and the straps are straight as possible when they go through the holes- no bow/angle or your going to get a bad injury.And F those seats and harness.
Read dude.... there good solid seats and pretty comfortable. And the price isnt too bad. And use the search button
