I've been looking into it some more and have changed my options to these (e-mailed sellers asking for more info like weight, harness-friendly, etc.):

• Otto-R seats - $285 shipped, frankly the material looks amazing.
  
  
• Yonaka Motorsports seats - $350 shipped, read some good stuff about them, apparently based in Canada (?) and makes most of the eBay IC cores.
  
  
• G-Force USA Recaro knock-offs - $281 shipped, looks like the Yonaka's but w/suede.
  
  
• BRIDE knock-offs - $300 shipped, looks pretty good, but the seller has a 93% feedback...I looked through 4 pages and couldn't find any feedback on seats
  & also, looks like perfect Sparco Torino copies w/o the logo:

• NRG seats - $300 shipped, Evo Recaro knock-offs, they were on SportCompactOnly so I think they'll be decent seats.
  
  

Anyone know of any experiences w/these seats?

Thanks!

I don't know anything about those seats, nor have I owned any seats other than stock in the past. I have seen similar posts in the past, and the best advice I saw a senior member give was about safety. Sure, knock-off seats are usually fine for comfort and looks, but an accident is where there could be a problem. I'm not sure how a cheap aftermarket seat would hold up compared to a stock. Just something to consider. Good luck man.

Thanks! I read through some of the old threads, which is why I'm trying to get one with a tublar iron frame and dual reclining adjust (I think that's the one thing Sparco's etc. have over generic seats).

i don't know about the seats, but nrg in my book is a+. they tend to make great products, very sturdy, very stout. loving them.

get Tenzo seats, I have them and they kick ass.

Out of those, the Yonakakkkakakakaa look the best.
