Default These EBAY Seats any good??

Has anyone tried these Ebay seats, they have the exact same shape as the sparco fighters.

they look alright and come with the side mount adapter.

i bought nrg seats, same company as those but itr style, and bad decision for me. wish i would have saved some more and gotten the real deal, now i have stockers back in. the drivers seat bent on one side so it sat crooked in a gangster lean and then the teeth gave out and it just leaned way too far back to be drive-able.
i would say save for the real deal

well these are fiberglass bodied seats just like my current 500$ sparco, i dont feel like dishing out another 500 for a matching seat right now for a car i hardly drive. They are non reclinable so i wouldnt have to worry about a gangsta lean from bending, haha.

i have two seats like that which i purchased off ebay. they ****** suck. dont waste your money. just save and get a good brand. they bend, they make noises when you hit a bump that resemble a mattress creaking from two fat people humping on it.....and they fall apart. you get what you pay for. they arent selling them that cheap just to be nice.

Yeah but just because they are made of the same material does NOT make them equal or even similar. APC taillights are plastic like oem but they still leak and fall apart.

Now thats hilarious...seriously everyone is right..either save for some quality seats or even buy some OEM ones ..USDM ITRS are nice and not that much money .. go cheap on shift boots... not something that can directlyaffect your driving .

man ive seen some cheap seats, ive been using some of those ronin seats in my daily for over a year no problem and they are about 250 plus shipping for a pair brand new.

I know what you are saying about them being made of the same thing but its just fiber glass with material pulled over, i was just asking if any had used them and if they liked them or not basically. Im not going to use OEM seats in my race car, ive thought about getting the buddy club seats and they arent that much better but ive seen them and they are alright.

you do realize that a lot of these people sell this **** next to wholesale. A lot of steering wheels like grant that is pretty well known for being a nice product are sold for like 25$ on ebay. So these seats could be or could have been 500$ in the past. Would i be "getting what i paid for then" if they were 500$

i have the itr nrg seats. it has been in my car for 2 years. other then fading, they have held up well i think (daily driving, 10 hour road trips, etc). why not just get some memory fab or f1spec seats??? at least they are better quality then ebay would be seeing that they can be FIA approved (well, some of them)

Do yourself a favor and do not get these. If you cant afford recaros or sparcos get some ITR's or EP3 seats.

The only knockoffs I'd ever consider buying (if i was in a crunched & desperate situation) are the F1specs. Very good quality. If I found them before I bought my buddyclubs, I probably would've gone with them instead.
