In a 2 seater, such as in your case, they are perfectly legal, as long as the genuine seat rails are used. Modified or custom rails are also acceptable, along with nothing being wrong with them, IF they are done correctly. In any case, custom rails should be inspected and signed off by an engineer, such as those used by compliance yards, who inspect the fitting of anti-intrusion bars.
The seats are legal in terms of safety too, as they would be taken off the market if they were not, as was the case of MOMO seats back about 6 years ago, when they were found to break in crashes. Which is why it is VERY wise to buy off a local authorized distributor who can inform you of this, or else they are liable for legal action taken due to their mis-information. None of this applies if you buy the cheap seats on the net, (see Ebay), which are made cheaply, commonly from China, which are designed and made with no regard for safety guidelines.
And on the lighter side of things, your friend is probably saying that because they are jealous! LOL
I love your seats and can't wait until my carbon Bride seats from Japan, they are taking WAY too long to arrive!!!
most mods people do are illegal anyways.. and if nobody cared when carrying out those mods why should you care? lol.. i mate has a pair of fixed sparco seats in his civic.. seem to be fine so far.. haveent got any defects or anything..Quote:

nice work:thumbsup:
I heard it's illegal if it's 3door hatch, because of safety resons (people at the back cant get out??) but in S2K I think you should be fine
Just get some of those snap on seat covers stupid cops wont be any the wiser
no ADR approved = not legal.. not matter what brand.
Is there even an authorised bride dealer in OZ ? (never heard of one)
I say if the quality is > or on par with OEM I wouldn't worry too much about legality. I would be simply more concern with its safety..
Nice care mate, what kit have you got on your s2k dude?
