Are these junk?

Decided I want new race seats for my car. The factory seats are showing their age and are fading and have some tears in them. So what does HA think of these?

personally I'd go with a name brand seat. cheap seats are going to look cheap and not last that long.

people have had very good luck with the summit racing seats, and they are the around the same price (once you consider shipping)

thing about cheap seats is they tend to wear quickly

Safety is something to consider when choosing seats... cheap might not be as safe...

What you want is some FIA, CAMS, or DOT approval. Wear shmear, but if the frame and mounting bolts are made with offcuts of aluminium cans, there's gonna be a problem.
