Tenzo R Type R seats ..... not the rally seats .. Opinions??
I was at a track event last night and an integra owner had a red Tenzo R type R seat in his car. It looked really nice! I was expecting crap but these seat felt and looked solid. They kinda are remeniscent of the recaros srd's.
The fabric on them was tough and looked very arbraision resistent.
Does anyone have any experiences with them or have any knowledge about them?
Please give me your comments. I am considering them because of looks, function, durability, and price. Not to thrilled about the embroidered "tenzo R" on the seat though. Can someone talk me out of this? Or agree with me?
Thanks

The seats really do look like Recaros, they would be a cheap alternative but I agree with you that the embroidered Tenzo R logo looks horrible. I called Tenzo and asked if I could get the seat without the logo and they said no.

Not to flame, but to sway your decision...
First of all, if you want a seat for track events, why the heck would you want reclineable seats? Second of all, I've never seen Tenzo R, but I strongly believe in you get what you pay for (up to a certain degree...) Tell me when you see Tenzo R being used at any sanctioned track events.

if you want less expensive seats, go for corbeau. They're carrera seats are a rip off the Sparco Torino. As far as quality, a friend has a pair of their Targas in his BMW, they are pretty nice. The only problems he has had have been user error, ie people slamming them up and back, and cigarette burns and ****. One time when the tilt mechanism broke, corbeau sent him a brand new seat, so their customer service seems good.

I'm looking for that slight advantage over stock seats. I do daily drive my car so I don't mind the relinables.
One problem I have with the recaros is that I don't fit into them very well. I'm pretty wide-assed!
The TenzoR TypeR's fit perfectly to my wide bottom half.
I also felt that the fabric was alittle more prone to wear than the recaros.
You guys who have bashed these seats, have you seen the Tenzo's up close or sat in them?? I think for the price, you are getting a decent seat.
BUT you don't get the cool Recaro embroidered lettering.

i think people who bash the Tenzo's are doing so just cause they are made by Tenzo...which makes some sense if you look at some of the stuff they make. But for all the good responses, and the fact that you like them, you should go for it. I'll take your R seats
