Default Recaro replicas on JHPUSA? good?

I saw these at jhpusa and I was wondering if they're comfortable to sit in for daily driving. I'm too poor to afford the real deals, but I saw these. I heard the ebay ones are like sitting on stones, but I was wondering if these are any good.



*edit*- put in the pic to see.

They are just NRG seats. I have some and they are ok. Not the greatest, and my drivers side seat has an annoying squeek in it that's starting to **** me off. The sliders that come with them are pretty shoddy and finding quality rails are a tossup. If you want to get those, might as well look up "jdm civic seats" on eBay. They will be the same thing, except eBay will be cheaper.

why risk your life with those cheap *** seats. just go with the real deal. might cost you more but improve your chances of survival when involved in an accident.

I forgot which organization approves seats for saftey, but if they arent approved and you get in an accident, the back of the seat has a very good chance of snapping in half. Youre most likely going to break your back if you hit something hard. Dont buy those seats just for the look, get the reals ones that wont kill you.

You doubt they will, until they do. Ive seen seats before that have. Just because they look like a racing seat doesnt mean they stand up to the conditions. But expletive it, you just said you dont have your license yet so when you do i'll just let the darwin theory take place.
