APC seating - anybody have these?

Yeah, yeah, I know APC is not Recaro or Sparco, but these looked like they'd match colors and give some better support than the stockers. Any thoughts? At about $160 each (not including sliders) they're a relative bargain as well.

If they came without the APC logo, they'd be much cooler...
I'd sport the gray personally. Then again...after my past experiences with APC, I couldn't trust them to last more than a month.

The old saying "you get what you pay for" would apply to those seats. I'm sure the padding and material wouldn't compare to a Sparco or Recaro.
Not to mention the ridicule you face having APC embroidered in your seats.
Personally, I don't think they're worth the money.

SCC reviewed over 70 seats in this months issue. They didn't like the apc seat.

they'll fall apart in 10 days...
If you are looking for semi-decent quality, good looking seats...then I recommend the Corbeau CR1s

They retail for about $350 a piece, sliders and brackets depend...just look at their site (www.corbeau.com) to get more info. I have these seats in my Rx7...pretty nice for the cost. I used the Schroth Rallye IV harnesses with it, but you can use your stock seatbelt...

And don't forget the Sparco Speed is only $269 with color that matches.

the ractive ones arent bad and they are cheap. i would not recommend tenzo seats, i was happy with mine at first and they are supportive but the material is thin and it fades quick.

Very good point, vodapas....it depends on whether you want/need an adjustable or reclineable seat. That will always cost you more. Fixed or non-reclineable seats are not all that expensive, but I would HIGHLY recommend you find someone with a pair and test them before you order...you may not like the angle the back is set to.
