Default Jdmcarboy seats question?

Im looking to buy a pair of the jdmcarboy seats...my car is daily driven...don't street race, maybe 2x quarter mile passes a year...I know they are not FIA tested...but has anybody had any experience with these in accidents?...just a bit concerned about the safety standpoint....additionally how does the material hold up on a daily basis?...all comments are welcome...

I have been in an accident with them.

Look at my for sale post.


The Seats held up fine during the accident etc. Nothing bad/wrong. Everything held together and I was hit very very hard. (TOTALED MY CAR)
Raised F150 16 yr old girl.

But I have another Set where the backrest broke, dont know when or how.
I just went to sit down one morning and i leaned all the way back.
Never got it fixed just got a black/gray set instead. Selling the set witht he broke drivers seat.

Dude, that's akin to selling a helmet that's been in an accident.

Reclinables aren't FIA tested. Only purpose-made competition buckets are FIA tested and cert'd.
