Default Jegs Pro high back?

Is this seat good enough to be a place holder til i can afford a Kirkey? I was looking at these seats and it looks like they are made of polyurethane w/ a metal base. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them.

I ran one. They really aren't that bad at all. They aren't as visually appealing as a Kirkey, but i lightweight seat is a lightweight seat. I found it to be less comfortable than a Kirkey as well, but you can't beat the price!

Go for it.

I am thinking of getting the Summit ones but I'm afraid they'll look cheap. I want to find someone local who's got em or someone who's got some decent pics of them in and F-body and see how they look. They also have an NHRA legal (dual locking) slidding mount ($27) and an adjustable brace to attach it to your roll bar ($35).

the cover looks cheesy, but the seat itself looks very nice.
