Summit Racing Seats?

[JoshHefnerX]

Has anyone here actually used these seats? If so, how did the hold up. They seem to have more or less pretty decent reviews. Looks like they have some wrinkles in them from the factory, so I'm wonder if this is a tell-tale of bad qc.. I know they're not going to be PRP's but that's kinda pricy at the moment.

The reviews don't look promising.

I hope you have a solid AC system because I think you would find yourself sweating a lot with that seat material.

Yeah, I live in phx, I sweat a lot anyhow... lol. I know they're cheap seats, but didn't find too many disparaging reviews on them. Ones in the truck are pretty much shot, and my wife gets kinda grossed out at times thinking about used seats.... If anyone has any better ideas I'm opened to suggestions.

My brother uses those seats in his crawler (thread here: https://ck5.com/forums/threads/a-low-slung-old-chevy-on-rockwells-it-can-be-done.321365/ I think it's later in the thread that he shows them in the truck). He loves them and I drove his truck with these and I think they were good. I may get some for my rig too. For a DD, prob just stick with the regular seats, but for a trail rig they are great

I have seats that look exactly the same but have are cloth. They say "APC" I think on them and I likem.

How long have you had them? I assume by your comments they've held up well?

I boughtem used for 150$, but only put about a 1000 miles on them before the motor went. But 350 of the miles was a long round trip of wheeling and hwy use. My back and bottom were happy the whole trip

I have a buddy with those. 6 months before the side bolster started to break. 7 months in recline stopped working on the passenger seat. 9 months in the driver's side bolster basically broke off.

Final straw was when my fat butt sat in the seat. I broke it. Like three ways.

I think those seats are a waste of money
