why dont you just get soe evo or ralliart seats instead of tenzo-Rice? evo and ralliart have the same brackets so its just a direct fit and no dealing with that crap. i mean you can do whatever you want, but it seems like itll be a lot of work for some bad seats. as for the DAD seats i havent heard anything about those.

I've heard good stuff about DAD from truck guys, but I didn't even know they made seats designed for compacts. I was thinking about tenzo-R myself because they are inexpensive and look decent.

If you get a chance to sit in the tenzo R seats, lets us know how they feel!

does anyone else have any info to contribute on the DAD seats. I've seen a lot of them recently going for 300 or so at ebay auctions. Just wondering if they are decent quality.

Could always go for some corbeaus, momos, or the cheaper sparcos, seats aren't something you want to be cheap about, better you spend some money and still have a spine after an accident.

well at Groupbuycenter.com...u can get the Tenzo R's for $300. The shipping is "Calculated" wutever da hell dat means....hehe. Thing is sparcos, recaros,bride, corbeau...they're fawkin expensive...could save some of that money towards a turbo, honestly.

I'd get the Tenzo R's and find a way to rip of the stitched logo...then it would have no name. I read in a import mag that the TenzoR's were the best rated in comfort and price.
