I'm thinking about buying some ronin seats off a guy on a local board. He says he's only used then for a couple weeks and the price is pretty decent and would save me a couple hundred bucks from buying the seats and brackets separate. I've never had any after market seats before and I'm not sure how the bracket install should look and what needs to be done to make them as safe as stock.
Heres the pics.. if you can vouch for them looking like they were properly installed let me know.. thanks.

 

I can get those brand new from Yonaka. I have a direct account. Just let me know if you want a price. They're inexpensive seats.

 

No body? I'm just wondering about the seat belts.. does it look normal to u ppl?

 

They look alright to me. Just looks like he welded it himself, thats all. If he knew what he was doing, there shouldn't be an issue.

If you do buy them, I would take the seats, brace them against something, and kick the seat belt mount as hard as you can from any angle. If it breaks, you may have just saved your life. If it doesn't, you should be alright.

 

I know this post is way old but how do the seats mount to the brackets i just got a seat and a similar styled bracket like yours...my brackets for my 00 civic look like this...very similar to yours just would like to know how that is bolted on or whatever i have no experience with this

 

The welds look fine, and the material is 2-3 times thicker than where the stock ones mount. Take a hammer to it a little bit to "test" it

It looks like the bolt that holds the latch on is threaded into the bracket. Is there a nut on the other side of the bolt? If not, I'd add a locking nut there just for extra insurance.

i have the exact same seats and these brackets as well. they work great together, and bolt right up. no problems and I love them. they do the trick untill I can afford some real recaros

 

how do the sliders go on the brackets?

 

for an "emo" hatch, you would care if you died would you? lol i say save up for real ones. seats too

 

looks like the person the welded this did a good job....that should acually be pretty strong...i agree with the hammer or kicking it.

 

the brackets in my pic are thick and heavy make stock look crappy.

 

where did you buy these brackets from

 

egay

 

Yeah the brackets work perfect..heres some pics of the seat installed with the brackets...I want real recaros horribly now..

 

how much do those seats go for??
