Some that feel comfortable to you. Don't buy **** if you haven't sat in it and decide you like it.

Something comfortable. We don't know what you like in a seat. Go sit in some and decide for yourself. I have never sat in any Tenzo Seats before.
I have sat in the USDM and JDM ITR seats, the Red CTR recaros, del sol seats, eg, and ek seats, EP3 seats, s2000 seats, and GSR seats. I like both the USDM and JDM ITRs, and the del sol seats. The CTR recaros were to wide for me, my seats(ek) and the eg seats are to hard, the ep3 seats are nice but would mount to high in my car(I'm very tall) the s2000 seats were nice as well, and the GSR seats are just, not my thing.
But like I said, I might like something that you don't and visa versa. Go sit in the seats you think you want and find out for yourself.

Re: Recaro vs. Tenzo Seats (94eg!)
you get what you pay for. Recaro's are worth the money, Tenzo are not.
If money is a problem, buy one Recaro (for driver side) and leave the other stock

Re: Recaro vs. Tenzo Seats (Marauder)
I have both driver and passenger side Tenzo's and the seem fine, no fadeing, everything is nice. Drove to NC with them from florida nice and comfy. Only complaint is that the top is not very supportive, but the bottom is.

Tenzo may have the look, but its in no way as supportive as the real thing. I was at this shop and they had a recaro srd and the tenzo knock off side by side. tried them both, tenzo had no lumbar support whatsoever. The recaros feel like they are giving u a hug! In the end guess which ones i bought?

Re: (jeffk182)
Tenzo recaro style seats are pretty nice although they fade... I bought a set of the bride brix replica seats off drunkinbass on here and they're comfy but are starting to fade pretty bad
Anyone know of any nice seats name brand or not that will not fade? My black alcanatara is starting to look pinkish in the sunlight

I had the Sparco Sprint Seat in my other car. and i daily drove on the non-reclinable seat and it was fine. my opinion is find a seat that you actually sat on and liked because you are going to be driving 100+ miles a day.

This guy is 100% correct... Recaro vs. Tenzo is like comparing apples to oranges.

Re: Recaro vs. Tenzo Seats (nub.96ek)
I had a pair of the USDM Recaro SRDs in my old accord. Depends how big of a guy you are. I'm like 150 and i fit snuggly into SRDs. So that might tell you something about Recaros. I know the Tenzo ones are wide as hell. I wouldnt even consider those racig seats since i slide around even more than a stock seat.

You have to be like 150lbs. then! Those seats are for thin people. I tried to sit in some bride's and the side bolsters squeezed my legs together and smashed my nutz. Im 5'10" 220. Recaros work better for us stocky guys.

Sat in several sets of Tenzo's and yes, they were squishy and nice, not rough and shitty, but with other people's input, I would not go with them.
Wouldn't anyway, because the word "Tenzo" just makes me ICKKKK, but whatever floats your boat.
Aren't their Sinko-R rims lighter than Rota Group N's though? (someone told me that after finding out I had Group N's a while back)
