Sparco seats made in China?

autoaccesorystore.com says Sparco makes there seats in China and make their huge profit on their name (Bose does the same thing by BTW). They have some nice seats for 115 a piece. I was curious if anyone has heard of this before? Has anyone done business with the site and if so how was the experience? 2 race seats for under $400 is not a bad deal in my book!

remember you get what you pay for. some seats arent suited for larger or smaller drivers. since i'm a short skinny guy any old race bucket wont work well for me. your best bet would be to try to test out other people's seats or test sit some at a loval tuner shop.

and sparco hand crafts all their seats....
it's an italian thing

sounds fishy to me, if it was 400 for 1 seat then thats right.

First off it isnt Sparco seats, they are 3A seats. The quality isnt the best, my friend has em...i would suggest not buying them and saving up for some sparcos.
