Can anyone comment on SSCUS seats?

[Zidane]

Guys,

Want to know whether SSCUS seats are worth the price?

Or should i just get second hand seats?

The only topic i can find related to this is dated back in 2005. And the comment back then was that it is not good for long distance.

Can anyone update whether they have improved?

thanks.

regards,

Haha what do you mean improved? In quality sense-wise or what?

I'd go for 2nd hand branded stuff since theyre approved by FIA and have been in production cars so its safer... but up to you lah

quality, back support, long lasting?

im using euro PU on fiat coupe
the headrest quite high, not really suitable for sports cars or short ppl,
difficult to look behind, tears fabric tears after a couple of years. but quite comfy.
does not have TUV certified at that time, not sure now...

im also using EP on perdana, very comfy, headrest not too high,
just the right fit, TUV certified.

i've been on the same sscus since i gotten my driving license, thats almost 7 years ago.
up till today, no problem. it holds me on my seat when necessary and at the same time, i have a peace of mind, knowing that no fcuker will break into my car just to get my sscus!

its getting better i think... if you cant afford recaros, bride n etc.. its a good option to get sscus at least it cheaper n its new..
if want cheap branded ones need to buy used ones, which will hv wear n tear..

Thanks.

I like seats with good back support.

i'm considering Subaru Impreza and Mazda RX7 seats also.

Will consider the comments above.

Thanks/

sscus is good..
better than chap ayam
im personally using 1...but cannot compare to recaro loh..
the quality is slightly lower than recaro only..
but overall sscus is very satisfying already

FYI, FIA approved is only last for 5 years, from the date stamp on the sticker.

More than 5 years, better buy a new sscus.

The reason i'm asking is that 2 of my friends (they don't know each other) said that the fabric was thin.

So for long distance, it will get uncomfortable.

Is this true?

Onces I seat on this bucket seats , I cant seat on stock original seats anymore .. back pain

the basic 600 bucks seat have thin cushioning... fabric is just as good as Recaros,bride,sparco... the more expensive SSCUS ones hv better cushioning and grip fabric to brace the pax in it... got exclusive synthetic leather also.. Go see n try at autorized SSCUS dealer.. its not that bad actually..

I think the Sscus Euro (leather) serves between standard semi bucket and stock seat. Tested the other day and thought of buying 2 but my stock seats are 17kg each with rail on. Still need to think if the weight gain worth it.
