Ed, without me searching, do you know what is the diff between SFi and FIA certification?

I notice a lot of safety devices such as seats and harnesses that are only SFI certified are a lot cheaper than those that have FIA certification. Makes me wonder if FIA is just uber expensive to get but not marginally different?

        Yup, HANS has sued just about anyone who looks to be infringing on their patents.  -  allroad'Ed here  2010-01-21 13:18:54 (50 views)
