spw race seats

I was wondering if anyone has any experience or info about these seats

Horsepowerfreaks use to sell them but I checked their site and it seems to be gone. Maybe there's a reason why..
I tried searching on here but couldn't find anything about them.

dammit i hate sites with no prices. wtf is the point in displaying products with no price???????

if it isn't certified, don't use it.

If memory serves me, horsepower freaks use to sell them and the price was about 200.00 a seat.
And Dr J. what do u mean about this "certified" issue? Am I missing something? Is there some type of sanctioned certification for car seats or something? Not trying to be a smart ass just want more info regarding your comment

certified means they have gone thru the safety tests. a non certified seat means it is of unknown quality and safety which could result in a collapsed seat and broken neck in a crash.

that is why i wont buy ebay seats. yeah they are cheap, but id rather not have one break apart in a crash.

the seat is an integral part of the belt/safety system. in a crash, the belts hold you to the seat....and assume the seat is capable of withstanding the forces involved. the FIA has a certification for racing use seats. the $100 "racing seat" you pick up @ pep girls probably hasn't even been tested....

Thanks for the info guys. I guess the old saying holds true. "You get what you pay for..."

 

[drjonez]

certainly.

the sad thing is when people skimp out on SAFETY equipment....
