I want new seats! need opinion.

Ralliart Seats on Ebay

Those seats would be really nice. But Im curious. it says they come with universal sliders, what would i need to do to get them into my 03 OZ rally? Also will my stock seatbelt buckle come out with my old seats? What do i do to get those in there becuase it doesnt look like these seats have them. I dont want a racing harness.

Evo 8 Seats on Ebay

Those would allow me to do the front and back and have them match. I love how the Evo seats feel. I also know that those seats would be a simple bolt in and i wouldnt have any seatbelt issues.

Which would you get?

Hmm is anyone on here selling some evo seats for less? heh

i believe that the evo 8 rear seats will need some modding though to get in our cars, its been discussed a while back, but thats what I remember. Not really sure nemore, but you might wanna do a search and see if it needs to be modded or not.

I think the problem with the evo seats has to do with the seat belt. Although a major plus to buying the Evo seats is the ability to use the stock belt. You also end up with the problem of the metal clip on the actual belt not being the same size as the holster on the seat. I think thats the only issue as far as fitment.

Do not buy the Ralliart Seat. As stated before, those are fake. They are appealing, they are are cheap and they are tempting I'll give you that. But those seats did go through any sort of security test. Those seats can actually be dangerous in an accident.

Real Sparco's, real Recaro's, real Bride's have gone through tests and are certified. Companies like Sparco, Recaro and all the others spend thousands of dollars in R&D to ensure their seats are safe, and to ensure they will be granted the highest safety label possible. Stay away from no-name seats.

Yeah, go with the Evo seats. The probably with the rear Evo seats into an OZ is that the Evo's aren't split fold-down; and I believe that caused some problems. But it is a manageable problem that can be worked out. It'll look good when they're done.

They won't be admissible to any event where security standards are inforced, and I wouldn't want to be in that car if it rolled.

I agree here. The fake and unsafe Ralliart seats are out, and the Evo seats are in.

And as far as the fitment of the rear seats, I know someone who did it and there is a lot of cutting involved. But at least the fronts bolt right into the stock mounts, and you can let the rears sit around until you decide.
