Oh yeah, they looks nice, if you have any others, please post. very interested now. It's my understanding that they fit on the bride rails aswell, which is an even bigger plus.

Those Eastbear seats and R34 GTR seats are made by the same manufacturer.

R34 GT-R seats are rad. Those ebay east bears are fake as hell though. I don't think real east bear reclining seats have East Bear stitched on the headrest unless they changed it recently. The old east bear reclining seats definitely had no stitching on them.

the special editions did. but still they are fakes because your getting 2 special editions fo less then the price of one real eastbear sigma seat.

I looked into these @ one time, and the only place that I found that sells them was RHD Japan, and after shipping they were approx. 1k each.

So you don't see anyone on this earth that wants to frequently take their car to the track and not worry about sitting in some flexing, fading, ripping pile of shit?

are east bear seats known for lasting significantly longer than other brands? are they FIA approved?

No idea. But there are expensive seats that are, which is the point.

ASM recaros are like 1800 + shipping...


each.


4.5 kg, and the MOST comfortable full bucket I've ever sat in.


or, if you're a real BOOC status roller...

thats because you cant see past paying 150 for a POS megan or tenzo seat, i paid ~600.00 USD back in `01 for some used mint condition seats from my buddy's R32 GTR. The used R34 GTR seats easily cost me more than double, and if thats not bad enough.. you dont want to know the cost of the R35 GTR seats.


So you don't see anyone on this earth that wants to frequently take their car to the track and not worry about sitting in some flexing, fading, ripping pile of shit?

Pretty much, anyone who's sat in R32/33/34 GTR seats know how high quality they are. For most street cars, the R32/33's are perfect, absolutely perfect seats. The R34 seats are good for folks who run 4pt harnesses and want more support and grip.

No aftermarket reclinable seat is FIA approved.
