I am considering these seats for my 69 Camaro - Yonaka Synthetic Leather Racing Seats

they look very nice and reasonably priced...

I bought a set and they are fine for a cheap set of seats. They took forever (about 3 months) to arrive because after I ordered them they told me there were production problems. IMHO I would say they are comparable to the Scat seat of similar style.

I've been a retailer of those seats for a while, and for the most part they seem to be a very good seat *for the money*. They aren't Recaros, but I think they're better than any of the other cheap seats out there. One thing that you want to be sure of is that you're buying from somebody that either has them in stock (not likely), or calls the manufacturer prior to placing your order. I've found that Yonaka seems to never order enough seats with each shipment to cover demand, so some customers wind up waiting for 3 months like the guy above. Buying from somebody who calls Yonaka for inventory status isn't going to result in you getting seats sooner, but at least you don't sit there for 3 months AFTER you paid waiting for your seats.

You may want to verify that these seats have a lever to tilt it forward for rear seat access. I believe one of the manufacturers of these seats does not have it, and makes it a little difficult for getting into the back.

Really? I would have just assumed that all seats come with that.
