Default Hyperformanc Racing Seat...any opinions?

Ran on to these today. I'm looking for a decent set of seats with out the sparco, corbeau, ect...price. And a set with out 3a racing, or bomz racing or whatever stitched into them. Found these just wondering if anyone knew anything about them. Thanks.

don't get cheap crap. mostly with seats you're live is at risk with them and you really want to risk your life with a 300 dollar pair of crap seats?

wow, the seat and seat belt is the most important part of a car for safety.

These seats sell with sliders and mounts for the same price of JUST SLIDERS AND MOUNTS from a name brand place. That right there should say it all.You pay for what you get, that is well known. And when it comes to safety, dont play the risk game.And if you are doing it for the looks, that wont work either, because it will be obvious that they are cheap. Very obvious.

You should expect to pay over $500 for a set of seats. Anything cheaper and you are risking build quality and durability.
