I think it all depends on the build, If I got something like that I would be the one to fab the sliders on to make sure that they were fully safe ---

i think you really gotta sit in the seat before you make the choice. a seat is a big big decision, if it is not comfortable you are throwing your $$$ away. i could prolly get that seat with out the fantastic nismo logo on it… in fac ti am pretty sure it is the same as Phil’s seats ---

my seats and custom brackets held me in fine when i crashed… seat didn’t move at all. it all depends on the seat and how it’s mounted in the car. ---

I have a pair of these seats and they are very comfortable and very supportive, much more so than those “nismo” ones you posted would be. Leather’s lame. ---

A necessity for a true track car, but 99% of people are hardparkers anyway, and it’d be a total waste.[/quote] sparco sprint is $299.99 US on their site. can probably be found cheaper. and is FIA approved. no it will not recline but its comfy. i myself dont ever “recline” no need to sleep/rest in my car as its for driving and not sleeping. why I say get an FIA approved seat is because i highly doubt solo1/solo2 will allow the use of a non-approved aftermarket seat, or will nhra once you pass the 12 sec mark I believe… and it gets worse depending on what type of racing you want to do. so if that case every comes up… and you bought knock offs and they cannot be used, you now spend more money to buy proper ones. so might as well buy proper ones to begin with… nothing wrong with the knock offs. bing seats are the shit! i was going to buy them myself but went with the sparco’s instead. ---

I can see a seat needing to be FIA approved for Solo1, but I really doubt it is necessary for Solo2. ---

I stand corrected then, at 299 USD it’s definitely worth to get a FIA approved seat. ---
