I dont know anything about those seats, so right there IMO I'd stay away, they might be good I don't know. On a budget looking for seats I'd suggest looking at auto wreckers and such, some times you can get killer looking quality seats cheap.

There the same frame and foam that Summit use, Alot of those styled seats are the same frame and foam coming out of china and the Company will put a name to it. There not bad...just cheap

No problems with that at all, They have a pretty strong frame

They are cheap (price wise), but you can find recaro's in a variety of cars, subaru, bmw, some chevys, etc...and have Tracy wrap them!

Totally agreed.

Don't buy ANY seats until you can actually sit in them and FEEL them.
I almost bought $800 Corbeau's and I'm glad a local ricer shop had them.
I hated em, and I ended up putting 4th gen SS seats in my 78z.

Most seats LOOK cool, but they are so damn stiff and those side bolsters
are pretty stiff too. They're not comfortable at all.

I have these in my car and I'm happy with them. Plus for $400 a pair, it's hard to beat. They are comfy and do hug you nice and tight. I'm about a
34" waist. Probably be good up to 40" or so. Just took the car on a trip to Bowling Green for the LS fest so it was about 2.5 hours of driving and they felt great. Yes, it's not the best but for something on a budget it should work.
