I've heard from multiple people that Tenzo Seats tend to fade, as well as Sparco's. Remember, you can always go the RSX seat, or even Del Sol Seat direction and still stay OEM. If you insist on going the aftermarket way, then choose a brand that is proven such as Corbeau. I have to add that I've never sat in or experienced AXE seats so I can't say for sure, but assuming it's like every other "affordable" racing seat found on ebay then it should tend to crap out like the cushions, fading and other symptons found with cheapo seats.

well, the sparcos fade under intense sun, and without any propper care, like car care fabric products.

Other then that, a very good quality product.

Corbeau is also a good brand, stay away from Tenzo, or APC, or any of the shadier import companies.

I have used Sparco,Recaro,Gtspec,Bride,Mugen,spoon sports....
I like all of them they have a dif feal to them all.
It good tho I have all good to say about them all.
But If I was going to get a new set like for a new car I get I would use Gtspec or sparco.

Yes say away from APC,Tenzo,and ay cheep seets.
Look at all the race cars out there what they are using and stick to what they use and you will be safe.

Good luck with what you get.
