APC seats worth tha measly $250?
�
�
Check em out here:[url]http://search.ebay.com/apc-seats_W0QQfromZR8QQhtZ1QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1[/url]
Everyone and their brother is selling them for ~$250 for a PAIR! Of course, they say they retail for $650. :rolleyes:
So what's the scoop on these? Did APC realized they're crap, and unload them to a bunch of distributors? Are they crap? I figure for that price, they'd have to be.
I'm just looking for something sporty looking, and matches the car. It's red, so black and red looks decent. I've got the 2002 WRX seats now which are OK. A little bland though. I figure I could sell those, and get these for $0 out of pocket almost. Should I?
I'm not looking to do any serious Rally in these, just Rally Cross, maybe an Autocross. In the future, a track day might come along, but that's not a reson to buy $900 Recaros.
Whatcha think, good and bad? Here, I think I can attach a pic:

OK, I found the other thread asking about these a few months ago. PLEASE, for the love of God, don't fill this thread up with "APC Sucks." And before you even think of it, don't think you're original when you type "APC Sucks :lol: " You're still a jackass.
I'm just thinking that stock vs APC, how bad can they be? Yes, I know APC is being sued for something with safety issues. Find me a company with more than $1M in yearly revenue that isn't being sued. Hell, find me a person with that income, and they're being sued for something too.
Yes, I know APC isn't Recaro, Sparco, etc. Yes, I know the name conjurs up neons, etc. I don't give a rat's ass about branding my car with "I SPENT MONEY" logos. Hell, I own a Brighton (debadged for weight loss). Besides, these are coming SANS LOGO. Now, I can really laugh when I incesively repeat "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges."
OK, so now that I've told everyone what to say, can someone say it? :D

apc sucks
:lol: sorry had to say it. i would think even they are uncomfortable that you could throw some memeory foam in yourself and even get them reuphlstered for half the cost of a new recaro. screw go for it. as long as the brackets are on good, can't see a safety issue

No, I just wanted a real opinion. I think in the 100+ post I read last night, ONE person had them, and said they weren't all that bad. Everyone else just whipped out an opinion of APC, which was 100% negative. That does nothing. That's why I posted in motorsports. I thought there might be a more educated crowd around here, without such the kneejerk reaction.
No one has tried these?

Where are you going to buy a mounting bracket for apc seat?
Custom fab will cost a bit more money than a regular wedge engineering one or whatever :D So what I think is, what you save in the seats, you spend on mounting it.
For $200, I would replace the seats in my beater if not for that :devil:

i rode around in some R1 seats this weekend, and i really didn't like them. i myself have a (old school) bride seat in my 240, and am putting a 5zigen seat (made by bride) in my RS. if you keep your eyes open, old cobra and recaro reclinable seats can be had w/o molesting your wallet, and those that i have sat in felt way better than those r1 seats (i'm assuming they are the exact same thing as the apc ones). the padding was really funky in them, not dence at all.

In my honest opinion seats are not something to mess around with, especially a seat that probably has little or no safety engineering behind it. Who knows where that seat is going to break if you are hit from behind by someone?
If there is any kind of safety/crash impact testing verfication available for these seats then I apologize in advance to APC, but I highly doubt it.

100% opinion; not a fact in there. You somehow know APC has no safetly engineering behind these? They just threw it together, and hoped that there wouldn't be a few million dollar lawsuits from injuries? They just said, "F safety, we'll wing it, and hope we don't get a class action suit costing us 10X what we make." ???? That's what happened in your mind? Yeah, sure.
Who knows where the seat is going to break? Who's to say it will? I don't know. I have no reason to believe that this seat will be any weaker, or stronger than my stock seats are now. Well, aside from the enlightening information in your opinion.

They come with standard rails, which may or may not work. Plus, I have my old "L" seats with rails. I figure between the two, one will work.

I suppose I should have said "educated opinion". My bad. You said you've used just about every aftermarket seat, but that is not to say you know anything about the APC seat. My big long disclaimer was to avoid a pissing match of opinions, as that's useless.
"I bet they suck"
"na uh!"
"uh hu!"
That does no good.
And keep in mind, I'M NOT COMPARING THESE TO A RECARO, etc! I know for 4 times the price, I'll get ten times the seat. Do I need that? Compare these to stock, which is what I'm upgrading from. Worse than stock?
So far, all I have is from CarDomain.com. "it also passes all required safety tests" That is probably true. Meaning, it passes DOT minimum standards. If not, these would have to be labeled "for off road use only" and come with disclaimers galore.
Anyone have APC's site, to see if we can figure this out?

You best watch what you say about CPA's! I have an accounting degree you know.
As far as giving them a try, that's kinda where I'm coming from. I'm looking at going with something that looks more custom, for $0 (after I sell my stock WRX seats). Why not? Am I going to sit in them, and explode?
Again, can they be worse (safety) than stock? They MUST pass DOT specs, no?

1) of course they are not as safe as stock. No side airbags.
2) without matching door cards, they will look out of place.
3) you can get leather seatcovers from leatherseats.com, and they will look good and retain the airbags. Plus you will not need to worry about fitment.
4) the stock seats are pretty nice. These will not be a significant upgrade.

1)The side airbags don't work when you have them in a Brighton. As well, you could make this argument that every racing seat, regarless of price, would therefore be less safe than stock, as none have side impact bags.
2)OK, and? Not a huge consideration for this discussion. I'm looking at safety, durability, etc. My car is for driving. Looks are only minimally important to me.
3) who said anything about leather? I'm not looking to slide around in the seat, burn my ass in the summer, and freeze my ass in the winter.
4) I like the looks of the APC better. Just look at the ad. It says it's going to give my car the F1 look. TOTALLY, DOOOD! I think it may ad that missing 900 HP too.

I don't know if you installed an aftermarket seat before, but usually it is car mounted to bracket, bracket mounted to rail, and rail mounted to seat.
It comes with seat and rail, but you still need a bracket that can mount correctly to both your car and the apc rails. And I have never seen any place that sell apc specific brackets ...

Coorespondance between myself, and a bendor of these seats on Ebay:

I'm wondering what the real story is on these. It's known that everyone and their brother is selling these way cheap on Ebay. I'm just wondering why APC had to unload them so cheap. I'm not looking for a Recaro quality set of racing seats for $220. I just want to know what the real story is before sending $300 for something I can't see in person. Fill me in, and you'll probably get a sale out of it. They look sweet. And yeah, I'm not down with a big APC logo. Hey, with that said, how can I know they're APC's, and not some really cheap brand? Thanks in advance for your response.
[COLOR=black]Their Response:
Hi, apc is now only selling their seats without the logos. At first they did not understand why we wanted seats without logos. We were always hearing from customers saying i would buy them if they did not have the logos. So when they did them without the logos they really started selling well.
The seats are good quality, they are not recarro, sparcoo, etc. But they are still a great deal for the price. The reason they can sell so cheap is volume & competition. This is a new standard in reasonable seats. As long as the cost to make & import these seats do not go up, the seats will be available at this price. Our key to selling so cheap is to buy by the truck load, this gives us pre-paid shipping to our warehouse. We also ship high volume through fedex to get fair shipping charges.
The factories over in china are shipping containers of these every day. These factories are shipping the same seat style to several companies like apc, lightglow etc. So there is a good chance that you are getting the same seats made in the same factory from several vendors.
I was told that the apc slider was of different size of the ones put out by other companies from the same factory, but that was not true. They have all been the same that i have seen. The only thing that will indicate that you are getting apc seats from us is the box. Apc is stamped on the box, we do sometimes repackage in plain boxes if the shipping box is damaged in any way. We do source seats from other companies, if the color requested is not available from apc.
Thanks for your interest in our seats. We ship seats from our warehouse in decatur, ga. You are welcome to come by and compare these seats with the other brands we sell, like momo, sparcoo, ractive, & recarro.[/color]
This is the type of thing I'm looking for. Real info. Not, "yeah, these are good."

If I had already decided, I wouldn't have posted this. I think I probably will get these. So far, I see no reason why not to give them a try out. No one here has stated much beyond opinion. And most opinions are somewhere between the value of tits on a bull, and a warm bucket of hamster vomit.
In fact, has anyone who posted their opinion even touched one of these? The closest is digitalpimp, if the R1's are the same. I thank you for your opinion, sir.
For the rest of you, go back and find where I said "Let's all just speculate on this."

Personally I'd stick with those WRX seats
| ChrisDP | 05-08-2004 02:56 AM |
I would hold onto the WRX seats for the above mentioned reasons. I'd put money on Subaru doing a substantial amount more engineering analysis into properly integrating their seat design into the safety systems of the vehicle. Most of the cheap "race" seats I've seen don't have support beneath those big bolsters, or use overly soft padding. Either way, the bolsters get squished out of the way and aren't nearly as useful as they should be. I think you'll find the APC seats to be less supportive (though I'm sure a vendor will tell you otherwise) and given an engineering analysis of the mounting system, I suspect they'd find the APC system to be somewhat lacking. That's just me though.

You'll have to excuyse me now, I'm going to go write a piece for Travel magazine on backpacking through Europe. I've never been, but I'm going to speculate. It should really help no one.

I saw some for $150 and I was going to use it to make a throne to play GT-3 and GT-4 w/ an adjustable table for my steering wheel :D

My friend actually built a "car" out of a seat and some pedals. Kinda like in an arcade. I've been meaning to get around to doing the same thing forever. Perhaps I'll get these, they'll suck, and become part of the arcade.
Anyone have any info on these at all? Still, not one person has sat in these? Or are you to ashamed to say you like them, as everyone will go off?

don't know if anyone posted the APC website yet. I got tired of all the bickering in the posts and stopped reading. However, here's the company's website.

I sat in one at a local Pepboys, it didn't feel very good.

too hard? too soft? Didn't fit?

This whole thing is a big circle. The people who know about seats are not going to own these cheap seats. But the only people you will believe are people who do own them, who therefore probably don't know anything about seats!

I have a friend that bought cheap seats for his prelude and theyre really soft and they didnt hold me very well, and its not like im to skinny for the seats cause well.... im not skinny. in addition to that the seat doesnt really lock, it wont go down when its locked but it wiggles forward, i hope you understood what that meant. also when i squeeze the headrest part it feels like theres paper towels in the fabric. and some of the seams were coming undone and he only had it for a week. I then sat in my sti seats and my butt thanked me.

leecea-I just wanted someone who has actually seen these to comment, not a bunch of speculation. It's not a matter of believing someone. It's a matter of whether they're even qualified to give any opinion, if they've never even seen them.
This has been almost useless, as no one can do anything but go off on APC. I suppose my second post, where I tried to get this headed in a better direction than nonsense, did nothing. We�ve got 36 total posts on this thread now, and ONE, only ONE has been in these. Thanks, cdvma.
