what do u guys think about these seats? I don't have the fortune to buy really
type r seats.. so i'm thinkin' about buying these instead... anyone have these
seats? comfy? do u guys think it's worth it?

 

I think they looks nice. But I would save and get the recardos or some sparco torinos. But thats just me. They're nice if you want the look for a cheap price.

 

They LOOK nice but, unfortunatly they are CRAP. They fade in like a month and actually just bend and wear WAY too easily. A guy I know had em for 3 months and they look like total garbage, and he takes care of em too.

how much do they run?

 

my friend cameron just bought some. They are really cheap. They are good for the money. The only thing bad about them is that you have to rig the mounts. They never line up. Also, the sides are way to high. It makes it hard to get in and out of your car and the seat belt button part is buried under the side of the seat. But they look badass

Where do you get Recardo seats from?

My friends shop sells them and he has not had any problems with his. Also my friend vy has them in is coupe, He's had his for like 6-7 months and his look like new (and he weighs like 250 lbs.) If you do buy them and they fade re-wrap them in recaro cloth then no one would even know they were Tenzo's

 

What concerns me, is that constructions.
how rigid are these seats. bending is fine, but in case of accident and they break, then that sucks. other wise the look really goods

 

My friend has them in his hatch, so i decided to check them out at the last race. They really didnt seem bad at all. The cloth was like a rough tweed which i didnt like but the build quality seemed good.

As a comparison, i had some sparco's in my last car. The cloth was nicer feeling but aslo faded in just a few short months so i dont think i would say a sparco is so much better but the choice is yours.

The corbeaus pictured above are also nice seats and their price is nice.

 

If you redo them in recaro cloth, you might as well buy recaros. Recaro sells that material very expensive, something like 150 a yard or so. I think this is to prevent people from making knockoffs by buying the material which is made from some patented process.

 

are your stock seats not comfortable enough?

Why spend money on an illegal "race" seat...?

 

they are illegal??? I thought these seats were completely street legal?


Peace

 

they are.
corbeaus are nice. im gonna get a set of the corbeau carrears if I EVER GET A JOB.

 

i dont think the tenzos are checked for safety
so i beleive it is a issue to use those as driving seats as they have not been crash tested and what not

 

I rather get the real deal then a knock off.

 

with something like seats, and the risk of safety issues, i would go for something better.
no need to settle for something thats affordable, but will risk ur life incase of an accident.

try to find out about the saftey standards for seats, and especially if tenzo meets up to them. not just marginally, like grade f meat..

other wise, just get some del sol seats, or teg seats.

 

hmm... what else is good for looks and quality?? i mean... something that won't
cost a fortune... what do u guys recommend? i'm expecting some where around
$500 for each seat....(in Canadian $$) looks like i'm goin' too cheap.. am i??

Your Si seats might be plenty comfortable but my 92 Civic seats most certainly are not. I can't blame anyone for wanting to get something with more support.

 

oh.. yeah.. forgot to say... dx seats are just so uncomfy... it kills my back if i drive more than an hour....
