        I allways like these seats. Had them in a few different cars.

            I have a pair of them in my Ranger and they are comfortable. I was pleasently surprised by the quality of the seats; they are as comfortable as some old Recaros I had in an early 320i. Summit doesn't put their name on junk like some of the seats sold on eBay.

              If I am in an accident and get hurt because the seat fails to stay rigid, I would be pretty pissed. That is why I say that if you are getting "race" seats, get something that has been put through some tests. Sparco, and Recaro I believe test there seats, along with many other higher end seats. If you are on a budget, I recommend some nice used quality seats

                I will probably go corbeau, I actually saw Summit seats in a s14 powered 2002' they looked nice in there and he has no complaints, this is also his weekend warrior.

                  I've said it before and I'll say it again. I will never believe that the quality of a seat will affect the outcome of a crash unless it is a rollover. Your seatbelt holds you from moving in a crash, not the seat.

                  Granted, if the seat broke in half in a rear end collision, it might not support you, but if it was bad enough of a crash to break a seat in half (any quality), you'd have a lot more to worry about.
