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....

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.

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
