    I personally would stay with seats that are certified, not cheap replicas..... Its your life, think what will be holding you if you get in an accident.

    Tunerworks carries Sparco as well. Best bet is too call around!

    Just to add, if they aren't certified you should buy one and once you're in a collision sue there asses for millions if you're still alive. If not your family will defiantely live well

    nope, generally the cheaper seats arent certified because they are not tested

    not all 'racing' seats are certified, well i guess the ones that don't qualify as racing seats cus they will never be seen on a race track, cus they arent certified

    personally i would never cheap out on a seat, because of what r-audi said

    with that said, stick with recaro, sparco or momo...the majority of those are regulated

    sparco seats arent 'certified' either guys.

    any of the competition seats have to be tested and certified for competition use, but the street seats arent, and they're the only ones you'll want to use in a street car.

    They may not be "race" certified, but the higher end street Sparcos do meet the FMVSS 208 rating and are TUV approved
