Aftermarket seats on Ebay...any good?

Has anyone heard of these folks?

Turino seats

The price is killer but I question the quality and the ergonomics. Any experience with this brand or these people?

Thanks.

Re: Aftermarket seats on Ebay...any good?

I have a similar set installed in my SVX. They are good, I like the quality except for the metal rails you see in the link. Since it locks only on one side and not on the other rail, you always feel unstable while braking.

I suggest you buy a set of OEM NON motorized SVX rails (I bought mine from Gsodonis) and try to "Custom" weld them or something to the seats. I believe an adaptable bracket is needed in the process...

Re: Aftermarket seats on Ebay...any good?

Hey I had another general question regarding aftermarket seats like Recaro and Corbeau. I'm looking for a set of used seats and if i find a set, chances are the driver side will be worn from normal usage. What are my options - have the foam replaced locally or should I contact the manuf for replacement foams? I'm thinking foams are foams unless I'm told otherwise.

Thanks.

Sorry dude, that wasn't me I'm looking for seats for another vehicle for long distance driving and a better back and side support.

Cheers.
