arizen buys their seats from the same manufacturer as MAD does they just charge twice as much because they market them for fbodies

here is a thread debating MAD vs Arizen

if all you want are nice replacement seats, with some more support, and a little race look, then get the mad racing. if you plan on any kind of real racing, either road or drag, and need a seat for saftey/control, then id get the arizen, which is what im doing. i dont have a good back, so ill probably need the lumbar, and im almost 100% sure you cant get a sub belt slot in mad racing.....which ill need when i install a 5pt harness.

i do like the second pic you posted, they look just like the arizens.....much better then the open back ones. again, if all you want are looks/little more support, i dont think you can go wrong with mad racing. for that price, how can you?
