Awww, thought you were springing for genuines - and then comparing them with GPR seats :cheeky:
I think the postage might kill it if we were gonna do a swap/sell etc, and im not to sure on replicas - like to get all genuine. Out of curiosity what would you offer for both seats? Also - i need your stereo surround too fool! lmao currently running nothing - pm me :)

EDIT: yea not really worth it - they do retail for a shitload genuine new though, but still, id know and feel so phony :lol:

have you tried on them? if no i suggest you should. aftermarket seat provide more support but wont be as comfy. it will prob be good to have a try and decide as the width of your shoulder and latissimus dorsi plays an important part (imo) to stop body movement during cornering.


i've fitted autotechnica, drift, in the car. i'll try to help if you have any question

Provided you keep the A/C, get some Sparco sprints.

Also, don't worry about the back seat if you do. :lol:

If you are buy cheap or replica seats make sure they have ADR approval.

Otherwise you will be defected and have to remove them. If you are young and driving a sports car, these are some of the quick wins for the Police to knock you down.

I had a set of fake Rrcaro's in one if my car. Didn't know they were fake, and when I git the car engineeredfor motor, they checked the seats and failed me..

That first one (Sold by JTM) is NOT ADR approved. Already checked them out. Though they do sell some ADR approved seats.

I do not recommend buying anything that isn't ADR as it's 1) illegal and 2) possibly dangerous.

Why are they not approved? Is it just safety issue?
