The ones pictures would be coming from US ebay

IMO better to spend the money and get some Just Crap ones (there pretty much the same)


paying for these? And are they ADR/FIA approved? just wondering

As above

There about 200-300 a pair USD shipped i think

no there not ADR/FIA approved (to my knowledge)

black is the best. better to be subtle than loud and obnoxious (theft attracting)

IMO the rails would be the last thing id be worrying about with seats...

If you go through NS you will see why Just Jap (i mean...Just Crap) ones are said not to be good

If you look on Ebay AU there are fixed back seats (not the best looking) but they are ADR approved and come with universal rails and are to my knowledge 150+shipping each

dood if ur getting fakes which comes with rails do u even know how much it'll cost to get custom brackets to fit them? im telling u they cost alot...

ull end up spending just as much as genuine ones once u buy the seats + custom brackets

if you are after a brand name...

OBX ones (well ones like that) that are ok but not the best looking (and ADR approved) pop up on NS lots

There was a pair in near mint condition sell for $150 and came with universal rails

Buddy club ones come fs second hand once in a while but expect to pay around 500 or so for the seat (keep in mind that is extremely cheap)

www.streetstyler.com

they sell the ones on this thread for $235 for the pair. I don't think it includes the shipping cost as well though.

In a different direction, have you considered the Accord Type R Recaro's from a breaker/scrapyard. They're pretty reasonably priced here and a good garage could most likely modify the Accord and Civic rails to make a factory looking fit.
We've fitted Recaro's from Evo's into EK's before with great results. Alot safer than some of the rails you get with cheap seat too.

If you stick it out you can find a really good deal

its just a case of not "jumping" on crap and holding out for something REALLY good

We dont get them here.

And you know the quality is good because you have tested them in a series of crash tests???


I would suggest to anyone in this thread to go and buy approved seats. Lots of seats look good from the outside, but unless they have been properly tested there is no way that I would want to be in one in an accident or any other sort of incident. I would much prefer to have stock seats that have been tested than some no name seats that may fold in half or have the brackets break under stress.
The other thing to be mindful of when buying second hand seats is that they havent been in an accident before. There is the potential that they have been structurally weakened so just be careful.

Just to also Elaborate on this

The Just Jap ones are now ADR approved as a mate of mine just picked some up today..

It came with the ADR tag on below and they email you a certificate thing aswell

Leather ones 600 came with Direct EG rails :thumbsup:
