hey, i was looking into getting some tenzo gt-spec seats, but i was wondering if they would even fit in the mini. and also, if any one here knows if they are, or know some oe who knows if they are comfortable? My car is a daily driver, and i love the look of the seats, but i want more lateral hold than stock, while keeping the seats leather, and i dont want to sacrifice comfort. (and keep the seat under $1k)
so what do u guys think?

oh, and did i mention that the back and bottom of the seats are carbon fiber?

 

The seats look great other than their logo which looks a little too civic to me. Well anything with type R, Tye S whatever.

 

Be weary of poor quality cheap seats.

I know a person who was rear ended with low end reclineable buckets and the seat back mechanism broke from the force of the impact and foleded in on him casuing damage to his back which he still have problems with.

Tenzo R is not a high quality brand. Just my few cents.

 

stay away from tenzo-r seat...they feel like crap and look like crap too and are unsafe!...save up some $$$ and get some better seats. you dont want to cheep out on seats!!!

 

Just a related comment on racing seats. I have Sparco Evo2, both sides. I drove 650 miles in 10.5hrs from Albuquerque to Dallas (many small towns with 35mph speed limits and the need for revenues from outsiders). I spent about 20hrs in Dallas then drove back to Amarillo (350 miles) before taking a break from driving. I can't believe how I felt--as if I'd driven maybe 2 hours in my old seats, or any other car seats for that matter.
I have come to the conclusion it's about support not comfort/cushion. The Sparcos have little cushioning, but provide immense support.
I would get in my car and drive 10 hrs anytime, no worries.
Really good seats are amazing. Stick with the name brand, proven manufacturers. You will regret it otherwise.

 

look into these also...not leather but much nicer and better seat, ive heard good things about this company!
