Has anyone used these lowering subframes on eBay please?

My concern is buying a subframe that hasn't been tested as per I image a large manufacturer must, and therefore how such a subframe may perform in an accident when this is all that stops my 13 stone from ripping the seat free from the main body of the car.

I've contacted the seller to check if these items are TUV or similarly tested.

Interesting question guys. And hugely valid. Tagged and looking with interest for the reply.

Would be very surprised if these have any official safety rating mind.

Let's hope I'm wrong....

@Deer_Dodger its me who prepares and sells these parts.
Nope, these are not TUV tested. Your own genuine Renault seat rails, bolts and nuts are used, this part replaces the height adjustment mechanism, looks and works as the original.
Tested on track days, dozens were sold, people loves the new seat position, this is how it should come from the factory.
