Seats protect you in a crash and could potentially save your life, don't buy the cheap eBay brands or the knock-offs sold on eBay.

Hope it is for a non-street vehicle as well. I've read some scary threads. You have to go the whole 9-yards or not at all.

I love my Corbeau seats, but make sure you get their sliding brackets as well as their harnesses. Corbeau harnesses are built to bolt into the stock location for the rear seat belts also, so you don't have to worry about those scary spine compression stories. You will pretty much lose your rear seats, but at least you are safe.

If you wanna check some out: http://www.motorsportseats.com/index.html the guy is located in Bloomington. When I was there with a friend he probably had 25 seats in his basement to try out. Nice to see how they feel prior to buying one.

If I had any money I would have gone with some Corbeau seats. My buddy has some and they are mighty comfy on long trips. I however are mighty broke so I went with a Kirkey (http://mitsustyle.com/forums/showpost.php?p=316574&postcount=239).
I don't know if I would trust an ebay seat in an accident like stated earlier, accidents are a scary thing with cheap parts.

I LOVE my sparco's. Coupled with the cage, and harnesses, It fits me like a glove.

I like Megan for things like exhaust components, but when it comes to safety go with one of the major name brands.

Kracka's right. Also, the better quality stuff FEELS better. I really noticed a difference between the corbeau's and the sparco's I have now.
