Default Seat question???

I am looking to upgrade the seats in my coupe. Its Vogue Silver Metallic.
I narrowed it down to two seats, here are the 2 choices:


OR


I can get a PAIR of the Tenzo seats for $275. Or the Momo seats for $244 EACH!

I don't plan on racing much, I might take it to the track a few times, but it is mainly used as my daily driver.
I sat in the Tenzo seats at SEMA, and thought they were supportive and comfortable.
Also I am not worried about how "ricey" the Tenzos might be.

here is a bigger pic of the Tenzo:

I am looking at the red one.

I can afford both of them, but I can get a pair of Tenzo seats for almost the price of one Momo.
The Tenzo seats were comfotable when I sat in them. I did not get a chance to sit in the Momo seats.
The Momo seats are fixed, and the Tenzo seats are fully reclinable.

I wouldn't trust a piece of safety equipment that bears the name Tenzo R.

Well put. The lack of quality is very very apparent.

So I assume you have a seat in your possesion to come to that conclusion? I didn't think so.

I'd go with the Momo...I had a TenzoR seat a few years ago...I had it in the car for maybe a year...here's what it looked like after I took it out of the car.





Yeah...pretty pathetic...I'll never buy another TenzoR seat again.

WOW! That seat looks like Sh*T. I think I will go with the Momo.
Thanks for all your help.
Anybody know anything better than the momo for under $400 dollars.

Yuck! Looks like you sat on it naked everyday for one year after a heavy workout and then **** and fart on it at the same time. Nasty.

Ronin.

Recaro SRD/Speed replica. Haven't heard or seen of any problems with the seats so far.

A friend of mine has had him in his Civic for about a year now with no problems. No fading, no ware and tear, and supportive.
