I see 100 dollar seats on sale with some brand called Matrix and other brand name less, can these compare to sparco or other 500 dollar seats? I use a 3inch cushion on factory seats to see better, Is there a way to raise the new seats up without using the cushion? Is installation relatively easy and can I still slide it to get into the back of my coupe?
Can I also use factory seatbelts?

 

There's a reason why cheap seats are cheap. They're un-safe. I've ridden on a pair of Tenzo's (same difference from Matrix), and the seat back FELL OFF during driving.

To answer you properly, there is no way you can compare cheap knock-off seats to the real deal.

 

that makes sense... I was thinking of getting yellow seats for my black car.

 

there was a video once of fake seat vs real seat.

Didnt go so well with fake seat, very very unsafe

 

Yeah, there are all kinds of stringent industry test that the big manufacturers put thier seats through to gain the relevant approvals. Cheap seats are dangerous, save a little and buy decent ones.

I'm sure there is a good possibility that yours may be different but if it has a **** on the left side of the seat towards the front you can turn that to lift your seat up and forward... but if you already have done this or do not have said ****, ignore my stupid ***.

 

you mean on factory seats or racing seats?
I do raise it forward but didnt knwo about up (factory seats)
But then I cant raise it forward too much as the wheel hits my legs.
thanks

 

alot of factory seats can go up. usually only power ones tho. so not sure if ur car can do it.

 

nope my seats arent power, but if theres a possibility of racing seats that could go higher I will deffintely look for those.
thanks

Mine does a kinda forward and up at the same time... big ol knobby on the side

BIG OL **** FTW

 

ppl have used/made/bought drop rails for racing seats so you could prolly do the same but raise it an inch

 

use spacers on the aftermarket rails to raise up the seat
