I was looking at these suspension seats

[Geck_87laredo]

Do they look any good? Or cheap as hell?

I would find out if they are new or used, and what brand they are. not all are created equal.

 

[Geck_87laredo]

Thanks Grimm. I sent him an e-mail. Ill call if he doesn't reply in a day or two. I need seats as i was telling you lol.
He has a bunch of stuff for sale and one different seat. But those seats he has a few ads for at different prices so we will see what he says.

Those seats look exactly like some Mastercraft seats my buddy has in his YJ...

 

[Geck_87laredo]

He said they are made by Rampage.
I am going to do a search and see what kind of reviews i find and what people think.
They are all brand new.

 

[Geck_87laredo]

I don't see any reviews on them.
Can anyone find any?
They look like they make nice seats.
I think I'm going to get a set this weekend.

Heres some pics of my buddies Mastercrafts, very similar. I like these seats their very comfortable if its any comparison...

 

[Geck_87laredo]

Yep they look very similar. The seats look nice and they sell other bucket seats so i think im going to go for it.

'similar' dont cut it. judging by the price/recline feature, i wouldnt expect much...

 

[swbooking]

'similar' sometimes does cut it... I have an Insiginia plasma that IS EXACTLY a Samsung just rebranded...

I dont know what you mean by "judging by the price/recline feature", but those Mastercrafts also recline.

Im not saying these seats are Mastercrafts but theres a chance they are ok seats.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

if they are Rampage Products seats, they are the "Driftmaster" model.

 

[IslanderOffRoad]

With seats you really gotta see them in person. Gives you a better look at the quality, and frankly, your butt is the best test of whether the seat is right for you or not.

 

[Geck_87laredo]

Does anyone have any experience on these or heard of anything? I mean, it's no huge loss if they are shitty seats but they don't make them anymore and from what i see online they go for a pretty expensive price.

I dont know what you mean by "judging by the price/recline feature", but those Mastercrafts also recline.

what i mean is reclining 'race' seats are a dime a dozen on craigslist/etc, and any race seat that sells NEW, for $225 a pair, is no race seat at all. the reclining part is a stab at their intended audience, idiots in civics. i know some real 'racing' seats come in a reclining modell....


seats are a safety item, stay far away from the knockoffs. fia dates? source? anything?

 

[GrimmJeeper]

I can't say I've ever seen a set of these in person, but I've seen some of the other parts Rampage makes (mostly for wranglers) as a friend of mine used to be a distributor for them. I was unimpressed with the quality. It's all made in china copies of American stuff.

Go sit in them, then decide. That's the only way you can be sure if you'll like em or not.

 

[Geck_87laredo]

I'll pass on them. I might get 1 mastercraft seat for now.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

Not sure how set on the reclining feature you are, but there are a set of nice looking Beard lowbacks on Race Desert right now for 300. Just saw em a few minutes ago.

Check with the seat mfg and ask if they have any one offs for sale. I got my Beards for basically 2 for 1.

 

[Geck_87laredo]

I like those seats. If the guy has them this weekend ill probably pick them up!
Thanks!

 

[Geck_87laredo]

can anyone alse find a good deal on 2 seats? or even 1 used in good condition. Not race seats must be comfortable for D.D. No more than 300.00
