probably been covered, but i thought i might raise it again, as it may apply for some us that are on a budget. ok yes i found a pair of budget seats from autobahn however, they were adr approved and since autobahn can legally install them i thought, hey three birds with one stone. should i even think of getting them, they looked pretty snazzy but just wondering what people think of the good ol' autobahn and their seats.

thanks

it was a little while ago, but i think like 400 a pair for the seats. i didn't go into check out install sorry. i still don't imagine it kicking the total cost over 800. but this was on a sale article, however it didn't the *save save save* on the add, just said new in stock seats adr approved

autobarn seats should meet aussie standards. maybe not recaro replicas.

If you have the correct bracket for your car then yes it's that simple. However, if you want to do it properly you'll also have to think about engineer certificates. This has been covered numerous times on here so have a bit of a search if you want more info.

I've been using a autotechnica leather seat for nearly 2 years now from repco. Cost a bit more than $400/pair. It's still going great though. Leather is just a bit worn on the side where I get in and out.

no
you need an seat bracket adaptor to mount the uninversal rails to your floor.
google for sparco rails, wedge engineering rails etc.

autobarn has some on special now, 299 pair. I checked a while ago and it was 160 per side to install.

I have a set that i'm still deciding whether or not to put it in, can't really see myself spending more on installation than on the seats (i got 2 for 200 :p-private sale)
