    seats are an integral part of your safety, if you want to risk your life by skimping on seats - go for it

    well you obviously want to get them, so just do it. it's just funny how quickly people are willing to throw their money at garbage because it's a "deal"

    they look nice (or do they?), that's good enough, right?

    If you get cheap seats buy a nice hospital bed.

    there is a reason that the sparco seats cost $300+ each. Also, since that are kinda generic seats, what kind of sliders do you need, where do you get them, and how much do they cost. The sparco sliders that fit their seats for the subaru's are like $100 per side.

    Yep, Sparco sliders are about 100 a piece per side. And their seats are made with regards to your safety and safety standards put out by numerous racing organisations.
    And for the price you pay after shipping, you could have probably purchased a nice set of used Sparco/recaro/Corbeau/etc... seats locally. Don't waste your money. They are cheap quality. I know this because I've seen 4 of them in person. After about 3 months of getting in and out of them, the cheap fabric wills stretch and wrinkle and there is NOTHING you can do about this. They will continue to degrade until the fabric rips.
    We used a set of 4 of them for some Gran Tursimo seating. And even under occasional use, they go to **** very quickly.

    Seriously, there are millions of better things you can spend your money on.

    I have one Corbeau Forza 2. It is in ok condition about 1 year old. It has a small burn hole on the leg cusion and the fabric won't stay under the harness rings, but it does come with rails already installed. it would just bolt directly in.

    $200 and its all yours. The seat was $250 new and the rails were $78.00.
