So, aftermarket seats. What's your opinion on them Veeky Forums...

I've been DDing a Sprint for about 7 months since my current DD is also my rallycross car. I've driven over two hours straight multiple times and felt no more discomfort than I did in any other car seat.

Dangerous. Seat belts become dangerous. Mounting points may not be correct which is dangerous. May sit too low which is dangerous. Doesn't have the same adjustments which is dangerous and uncomfortable. They have no give which is dangerous because you will just be squished into the seat.

They're uncomfortable. I never understood people that do this. I bet they regret the decision right away. I've driven these cars with racing seats and they're stupid. They're hard to get out of.

They're ok if they come with the car from factory because they're most likely more padded and have adjustments and are at the right height and the seatbelt is integrated into the seat.

There is nothing wrong these

Like I said if they come factory they're likely safe. And more comfortable. You could actually get out of those easily unlike aftermarket racing seats.

They are aftermarket, just Recaro

No. They match the interior. They're factory.

And they're probably from a 350z which is the same car as the g35 so they were chosen for mass production cars and are safer probably.

+1 for SR3 Recaro's

I agree they can be dangerous IF you mount them incorrectly. If you use a good seat with brand name brackets and mount the harness properly, they can actually be safer than most other seats and reduce the need for an airbag, which is useful especially if your car has no airbags, like mine.
