No problem Dimi, I'll do that.

First of all, stop bashing the n00b. I'm entitled to my own opinion and know more than my post count says that I do.

Second, I never said anything about the header that he bought, and agree with you on that point. And, I agree that GC coilovers are better, I never said anything about that either. I simply agreed with him on the seats and thought he made a good point against you.

Third, when did I buy a header and seats according to your post? Don't put words into my mouth and misinterpret what I said. I know that better products perform better and longer, but The products concerned when I posted were seats and things like intakes.

Don't bash me and I won't bash you. And learn what I'm trying to say before you post something like that.

Well learn some clarity when you post n00b! j/k. I don't like bashing no one, jsut stating my opinion aswell. But when some d00d put wned: for something that needs no owning (hah)...it's kinda lame, IMO...

Hell yeah, nice buy. I, personally, would never shell out the required amount of $ for a set of recaros or sparcos. Right now I have a set of NEX 400 dollar seats in my car, and for the money, couldn't be more pleased. Don't believe this "you get what you pay for" crap, either. Just wait for the good deals to come up & grab them, as w/ your seats. As far as the headers, though, if they don't crack, they'll definately turn spotted & brown w/in a week.

Hmm.

So Sparco's are just overpriced versions of the same seats you buy at Pep Boy's?

Sparco, Bride, Recaro, etc have invested much time and money into designing a seat to be ergonomical as well as safety (frame design, frame material, etc). With safety in mind, I'd like to see what those $200 seats are made of.

A seats a seat. Shells are all about the same. Fiberglass, CF, etc. What makes a difference is the cushion and the fabric. Most pep-boy's seat are not DOT appoved. They are to say RACE appoved, but a race seat should be better than DOT. Get a cheap fiberglass shell and a sparco cover all for about $200 a seat. There always routes around $$$.

it all depends on personal tastes... some like JDM
some want looks
some want performance.
sure you can all tell him that he should have bought recaros, but guess what? maybe he just wanted a different seat without losing his savings on it.
im not saying this applies to all things... since i've seen shitty coilovers snap before, but u get my drift

good job with the buy dude.

not necessarily
sometimes product differences are based on reputation.
but i do agree there are differences in fabrics, dyes, cushioning materials....

h:

With those arguments.

A car is a car.

A Benz is a Kia?

But you know what? I don't want to bother arguing.

Nice seats kid.
