About seats

Post by giorgio2g »

Hello everyone. In my search for seats i've found out this store: http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/bmw-3-ser ... t_507.html . They have seats that with the right brackets will fit e21. The plus is that someone could buy new seats for less money than used recaros. Have anyone tried those seats, so he could share his opinion about them?

Not from my side, but I've seen some cheap Chinese replica's that I don't want to be in in case of a crash, as then they will be the cause of my death I'm afraid. I would personally stay far away from any sports seats that don't have any TUV/FIA/ECE or similar approval, like the regular 200 bucks and less stuff and even the cheap Corbeau examples.

I've asked the store about the seats and they told me that brackets needed to fit the seats cost almost 225€ each https://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/index.ph ... uctId=5105.
So maybe it's not that cheaper than reacaros after all. So the only advantage over the recaros are that those are not used for someone that perhaps want brand new seats. However as Jeroen mentioned above the quality is questionable.
