Racing Seats

Ok i need some help. I want 2 buy these racing seats from a friend of mine that can get me a good deal. They are Type X Matrix Seats. But he was telling me that it is a pain in the to put them in and ill not be able 2 use my stock seat belts and they will have 2 do all this stuff 2 make them fit right on the rails and brakets that are ganna come with the seat. I need 2 know for all those who have them if u had 2 go through this headache just 2 put in some racing seats.

well IMO i think you shouldn go cheap on seats cuz ur sitting in them. PLus all the cheap ones will fade after time and they are all basically made by the same company in taiwon or waht ever jsut they each have their own badge on them like matrix or tenzo. Id save up n get some sparcos or recaros.
Also no one has brackets or sliders for our cars yet so they ahve to be custome made. IM gettin my recaros put in on wed n my garage has to make custom brakets off of a EK civic to fit mine.

not to be mean or anything, but what is wrong with tenzo r seats? i've had mine for almost 2 years, rally II's, with no signs of fade (blue), and they are extremely comfortable (i live in minnesota, and have driven to south carolina and florida and back)... i understand that they're not as prestigious as a sparco or recaro, but to me they were absolutely worth the money....

and yes you can use your stock seat belts, they will rub on the seat though, which could cause signs of wear early....

hah sorry dude, typo, well im not sayin tenzos are bad, because i actually really like the design from the pix. But the garage i go to says they basically get the seats from a generic company and slap their logo on. I didn really care so i asked them to give me a total price for the tenzos and it came pretty close to the sparcos. And name to name id choose sparcos for the extra $200. And as for the brackets, my garage called their sparco dealer in canada and i was told they dont have any for our cars yet. Im jsut going by what i was told. Just tryin to offer a lil help

tenzo and corbeau both make brackets and sliders for our car. Here is a website with the brackets and sliders so you can see for yourself.

RedDragon333 will become famous soon enough
you can use the stock belt with the seats and yes they make universal brackts but they are designed to work with the that particular seat. I have a set of Tenzos for sale

Well my garage used stock EK base n sliders and made some small mods like adding some stuff here n tehre n welding. Looks awesome, i'll have pix up soon. And on a side note theres a really cool story behind the seats. eheh Im in vancouver canada and no one in town has these seats for sure because they were taken from a mitsubishi lancer evo 4 in japan! ehheh for some reason that made me feel really happy hahaha i dunno why
