So i just came across the seibon line of seats, there not fake or copies, they look diff than recaros and bride. (pretty sure they are seibon molds)

The question is would you get the light seibon carbon kevlar seat for 800 or the heavy recaro plastic fiberglass for 800 or the heavy bride fiberglass seat?

Oh and HOW THE HELL DO THEY ALL COST THE SAME FOR 3 DIF TYPES!!!!

 

Why don't you get some Buddyclub they weigh 5kg each. They are about 400 a seat.

 

^ yah buddy clubs r cheap, light and a great name.

 

I know what seats i want but i just don't get how they are making any money selling kevlar seats for less than 800 and how much recaro is making by selling plastic seats for 800 and kevlar seats for 3 to 6 grand.

 

Recaros are generally FIA approved which costs money.

 

it's much cheaper for a company to retroengineer(read: steal/copy/mold) someone's design, a orginal part require engineering, R&D and various production cost.

recaro is example because they are quality, i don't even trust myself with no name brand when it comes to safety.

just because the shape is the same doesn't mean it's being constructed the same manner and quality control level.

it's good to save money but when comes to important stuff like this, i thin you should think twice about going to a knock off company(that have no history to making safety equipment) vs a reputation with a track history of success.

i had a seibon trunk, but that's because my life is not depended on it in even of a crash

 

hows the lower back support on the buddy clubs?

 

I just got a hookup on a pair of used Bride Vios IIIs for 225 + my stock seats.

 

holy crap thats cheap! are you sure they were authentic?

 

Its funny you say recaros because I work for NOV and we sell a drillers chair/station in the oil field and thats what brand of seats we use...
