430 Aftermarket seats

I considered them but I’ve seen crash footage from Chinese replica seats before and it’s a hard pass for me.

 

I almost bought some seats for a muscle car a few years back. Turns out they were for off road use only. Not legal in a road car. Don't know about these seats? But here they need to be certified to local safety standards.

 

I believe it’s just that style of carbon seat.

 

I'm very open minded about replica carbon parts because in my view the OEM carbon is low quality and the 430 parts are relatively simple, but the seats were contracted to Sparco who know a thing or two about seats and safety in extreme (motorsport) conditions.

I would urge anyone to avoid seats from a manufacturer who does not have the requisite experience. Not to be overly dramatic but it can be a life or death decision.

 

Oooh, I want to see it. Do you know where to find it?

 

It’s been years but it was when I was selling Recaro. Use to show it all the time. I do seats for an OEM level now and I can tell you that most of those knockoff seats are a deathtrap. There might be a good one or two but there’s really no testing done and rarely any certifications that are globally recognized.

 

Given the Friday announcement, be careful as those might come with a hefty tariff.
