STATUS Seats. Who has them? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Fellas,
Ive been searching everywhere for some Status seats and the only place i could find them for a reasonable price is NyxRacing.com. When i started researching them i came across an interesting comparison between them and Sparco. Have you guys seen the reinforcement on the side bolster where it attaches to the seat rails? Looks to be an improvement over other brands. Didnt know much else and was wondering if anyone has them in their car and what they think? Here are some pics:

Spa

Laguna

Hockenheim

Monza

Reinforcement:

So far the only seat that is FIA is the Laguna but i read they are in the process of certifying more lines of their seats. Just thought i would ask around because i have never seen a pic of one on this board. Everyone seems to go with Bride, Sparco or an off-brand. So if anyone knows of another shop that carries these for a good price, please post up!

I've looked at those seats too. They look really nice i think they come in suede too

P.S. For the price, they better be nice

I have the le mans in carbon kevlar. Top notch super snug no movement on the seat backing. Just gotta be on the slim side.

Seriously.

FIA don't pass no shitty seats. FIA approved means these will save your live.

special_k86 · 01-26-2007, 06:15 PM

I have the Hockenheim in carbon fiber. I'm very pleased with the seat. Fitment is perfect for my skinny ass. I'm running bride fg rail/brackets.

Jung918 · 01-26-2007, 07:39 PM

It is really expensive to get a seat FIA tested. From what I heard, it is 5k per seat per year. That will get passed down to the consumer.

s13gold · 01-27-2007, 11:49 PM

damn those are some clean asss seats!

eastcoastS14 · 01-28-2007, 12:03 AM
