Check out these Racing Seats --Cheapest Price I have Seen--

I came across these seats on Ebay and I still can't believe the price for the pair of seats. They are going for $175.00 plus $95.00 shipping for the pair. They come in Red/Black, Blue/Black, Black/Black, and Grey/Black. You need to check out these killer prices. You can go to ebay and search for seller street-customs.c0m or you can get more info about these seats at http://stores.ebay.com/streetcustomsc0m

Looks like those Ralliart seats on Ebay. I would go with those if you want cheap seats, even though some people say it's illegal to put the Ralliart name on them.

I have contacted many buyer that purchased these from street-customs.c0m from ebay and so far there has been no complaints, and everyone loves the quality. I'm doing my research because I'm looking to buy a pair of racing seats and I want to do my homework and find a good pair. Since there is so many happy customers, I'm going to get a pair of these from them.

probably not, but there's a good walkthrough on here about rigging some custom sliders.

actually, on better inspection, the thread's about using the stock brackets to fit aftermarket seats. should do the trick, though.

I looked at seats like that when I was shopping for them, and talked to a lot of different vendors asking questions. It seems that the reason these seats are so cheap is that they might not have passed the safety inspection for the US. I have heard a story about a Tenzo seat coming loose on the driver while going around a corner at a race track. And yes, the sliders might not fit (although someone on these forums found out how to make the stock ones work). One plus on the seats you showed is that they say "best memory foam", as long as that is high density memory foam, the seat will keep its shape for a decent amount of time (hopefully)

Ideally, you should sit in the seat first to see if it fits you and will not cause fatigue. I chose the Corbeau CR1 seats because they feel like they were molded to my body. Corbeau also is the most reasonably priced among the top brands of racing seats (sparcos are nice but they are pricey).

well I've worked with streetcustoms, and he is a VERY good vendor.

What happens with cheaper seats is they are not FIA approved for racing, and often not even DOT approved. Meaning they may break during a crash. So that is something you have to consider. Also the cheaper seats don't use as good of padding typically and you'll feel the bars etc.

Just stuff to keep in mind.
