Summit/Jegs Sport seats

[NJSHO]

Anyone have any experience with the summit or Jegs brand sport seats? I know id probably have to make some brackets but Im wondering about quality and comfort.

Summit/Jegs 1st ones in the list

APC 2nd ones in the list

I doubt if they are DOT legal. That could lead to huge problems if you are in an accident.

Didn't even know there was a dot rating on seats. Ill look into it. Thanks.
EDIT
I called Corbeau and they said they are not aware of any dot regulation on seats.

Simulated leather? I'd want to touch that material before spending $200 per seat. It might be fine, but it would suck if the material felt cheap. I've found that there is a quality difference between seats of different price ranges that shows up after a few months.

A cloth seat will hold you in much better than leather, too.

i have those seats with 3 inch sparco 4 points and they are great. i know at checkers they have the exact same seats for 119. thats dam good. they are good for an every day driver but they are sparcos or aything like that. they look and feel good just a pain to install

Yeah I’m not crazy about the simulated leather either. I guess I was just wondering if any of the non brand name seats are any good. The APC's are fabric and I was leaning in their direction. I was looking at corbeaus, but they bite into my rim/tire money.

Use the tires and seats from your Z.

I believe seats can be DOT regulated. I've also heard of FIA homologated (is that a word or did I just make it up?) which is apparently the seat to get.

Back when Sport Compact Car was a decent magazine, they had a very good article on selecting seats (what to look for, different ratings, etc). If I can find it in my room (ha!) you can borrow it (or I'll just copy it). It may also be archived on their website.

I tried, the seats mounting points are too far apart.
