Mad Racing's are REAL leather (Arizen of the same price is fake leather) and the feel great (I've seen/felt/sat in them in person)...

I don't like that metal contraption Arizen calls a lumbar either. I'd rather get the Mad Racing one's cheaper and then have my own foam lumbar added...

Same manufacturer different distributor. Essentailly these are Arizen (given I will not pawn them off as Arizen, but they are the same minus the name/lumbar). I will have a review when they get here, if they are comfy great! If not, they are a light weight seat so its no biggie!

Not to mention the fact Arizen's are knock-off Recaros

SO, Mad Racings are knock off Arizens which are knock off Recaros...

Mine shipped today, UPS is showing a weight of 30 LBS per wrapped package so that is good, should save me a lil weight, and if not they should be comfy!

my arizen's shipped today too! and you will see why I went with them. Btw, their customer service is amazing. I did not have the greatest experience with madracing as you read from the other threads. You can get leather from arizen btw. And trust me, although madracing does not advertise it, that entire seat IS NOT LEATHER, only the insert. Even in the highest quality seats, the entire seat is not leather...it is an option and a costly one at that.

Here's a few options:

1) Cut the thread and de-thread it... Fabric will look rough there but the DAD will be gone... you could also get something else ebroidered where it was.

2) Get that part re-upholstered... Can't be too much money and the seats are only $300 shipped to begin with...

3) CHEAPEST route, take a black marker to the red thread, won't be gone but it will be less noticeable...

I called them today and they are weighing the DAD and the fiberglass back ones for me, I will post when I find out. Also, anyone know where you can get a bracket to bolt these right in. I'm going to sell the old seats so I can't mod those.
