      Seats are the first mod I have to do on a car. I'm 6ft5 and hardly fit in any sporty car even without a helmet. Before I buy a car I have to Test the seat and measure how much lower and further back it needs to be. Then I look for fitting seats.
      Seats are very underrated. I think seats change more about the driving than any other modification.

    I had a set of Corbeau seats once, they were way more comfortable than stock. I had fitment issues with the brackets that Corbeau had for the vehicle and ultimately not only did the padding wear out after about 3 years, some of the welds broke in the seat frames. I replaced them with more comfortable stock seats which has become my preferred method for seat upgrades. I currently have a set of seats from a 98 Integra in my EK civic. They are comfortable and fitment was not an issue with a little bit of parts bucket mods with the seat rails.

    High performance seats can indeed be very helpful. The brands mentioned in the video are FIA approved. Meaning, in a safety sense, they won't crack in half during an accident. The cheap seats that many buy on eBay are typically not FIA approved. Ask yourself how much you value your life.

    I'm hoping you can answer a question for me. I purchased a used 2019 Ford Transit. I have scoliosis and the seats are extremely uncomfortable for me. The aftermarket seats are too expensive. I was wondering if I could pull Nissan Murano seats from a salvage yard for the van? They both have airbag tags on the seats. The question I have is will the air bag wiring harness in the Ford Transit fit any seat or only aftermarket seats?
    I did look into reupholstering the seats but he says he can not change the contour, only the covering. He suggested replacing them and provided a contact for a metal fabricator to help out.

    I would have appreciated some different lighting or background, so I could have seen the details that you were talking about on the black seat sitting on the black table in front of the dark background.

    I'm happy with the seats in my 06 Eclipse. Their shape is both sporty and confortable enough for me.
    Now i have not driven it too aggressively so you might be right on the "be tossed all around the inside of your car" XD

    Can I have regular seatbelts with these?

      If you can make a bracket for your clicker portion of the seatbelt or it has one for sure!

    Honestly, the 8-way adjustment seats in my 85 supra are nice, but the driver's side is twisted in the back, the bolsters are seized, and the cloth is in shitty shape. This video might have changed my mind from keeping stock style seats.
