What do you think of the 8g's seats?

[VegasMatt]

While we are at the topic of seats, has anyone replaced his driver seat with a bucket seat (say, Recaro or Sparco)? If so, how much did it cost? Of course, POST PICS too!

I am already sliding around at moderate cornering speeds. It gets really annoying!

I'm pretty sure vegasmatt has some.

Yes, I have the Sparco Milano Beige Alcantara in my Galant. Very comfy.

are you kidding me.... call any ralliart distributor and tell them you want a ralliart racing seat and see what you get.... i bet in a few weeks you will have a seat made by ralliart....

we kid you not. i don't see it in the ralliart parts catalog

parts catalog

dress up catalog

but i do have some jdm synthetic blinker fluid, its really expensive and hard to get, i'll sell it to you at less than wholesale price since i bought a case, 60 bucks a bottle shipped. synthetic. nothing but the best.

:x wtf did i get then?? now im scared about what im sitting on..lol because i contacted signal auto's u.s. contact and he put me in touch with a japanese supplier who is a distributor for ralliart.. and i told them i wanted racing seats then my bro was in japan on business went got them and shipped them back... well i guess it doesnt really matter considering the logo is authentic, its not shitty looking like the shit i have seen on ebay and they are extremely comforable and supportive, im just kind of pissed that i payed alot of money for something thats not real...

You got swap meet Ralliart seats. The same ones that ARE on Ebay. They just stitch the logo on a universal seat.

they have to be better first of all they are from japan, and i have seen the ones on ebay the logo looks totally different....

im confuzed here. what makes a knockoff from japan better than lets say a knockoff from the US, or Korea, or China, Europe, Austrailia??

[galantking07]

all i meant is the seat its self is japaneese made, and most japanese auto products tend to be better quality compared to others thats all i was saying.. you can agree or disagree with me thats just my opinion... bottom line i must have gotten screwed but i guess it doesnt really matter because they are much better then the stock seats, and i have sat in Tenzo racing seats, and even sparco torinos and i actually perfer the ones that i ended up with because the tenzo's seemed.. cant think of a word and the torinos were perfect if racing.. but didnt satisfy the comfort level.. so i guess i got what i wanted in a way

imo the galant seat suck... after numerous hours of driving my back usually gives me trouble. anyone ever sat in a 93-97 altima ? ....now those seats are already much better.

I also have a 93 Nissan NX. It has wonderful seats compared the Galants'.

Dude, you got owned...everything is made in China, Taiwan, India, or Japan nowadays anyway. Oh well, if you're happy, we're not gonna bust you up for it. Live and learn, but I'm glad you're a good sport about it. Welcome to TGC, we need members like you here, not hot headed, and willing to listen.

man the company u got those "ralliart" seats could of saved themselves alot of headaches and just gotten them on ebay.. for like 70 bux a pair...hell they even sell"ralliart" steering wheels for like 20 bux..even oil caps and radiator caps..i ordered myslef an oil cap..cost me like 3 bux,, it says made in japan,,,,no big deal...im saving up for a set of BRIDEs or RECAROs..to switch out the 8g ones. u have to be careful they make knock offs evereywhere ..ive seen like 4 pairs of those RALLIART seats in person here, and most of the people that have em just said they got em on ebay .. and they look identical to the ones u posted... companies tell people crap all the time...dont mean to burst your bubble ,but they prolly told u that they were imported from japan,blah blah blah,,and it took them half a year to get here because they are so rare...etc..they prolly just told u that to make u feel happy and giggly inside...ive heard that shit so much from companies,its ridiculous,,and most of the time its bullshit.. anyways,,welcome to tgc
