How's the quality and comfort of these seats? Do they fall apart? I'm looking for some racing seats and these seem really affordable but I'd like to know if you get what you pay for with these seats.

He's just asking if anyone is using them and how they like them. Not selling them.

Well for $189 and $17 for the bracket, it's worth a shot. My 99 driver seat has a rip in it now ( on the lumbar ) and this seat alows a 5-point harness.

Okay, great...no one is bitching...anyone have experience with these? I wish that Jegs or someone would offer a seat like the Corbeau GTS II that cheap. i have never really been a fan of this particular style of seat, but do love the GTS II's oh well....

Im also curious if anyone has ever used them before? A friend of mine used to have them in his 91 Z28, and he had them for a while so they must have been decent. I only sat in them once but a large kid had sat in it the day before and broke something so the seat was too far forward, which made it uncomfortable.

i have experience with these seats.My 94 firebirds seats brackets brokes so instead of buying new brqckets from the factory i ordered a set of these.this was in 03 and the design had just come out.I paid 349 each plus 49 each for brackets.i installed them in my firebird(brackets are import pattern by the way) by relocating my studs-simple process.These seats are very very comforable and privide great support-a steal even at 349 i thought.The only thing thats ucks is that they dont provide rear seat access.You can adjust the back of the seats angle all the way forward and you can get in the rear but it takes forever and they dont flip forward.they are also a little wide but overall theyre great,a 9 out of 10 id say plus they look awesome.Has anyone looked at recaros designs lately or corbeau?theyre ugly unless you want to spend a thousand plus on each seat.i have a few pics ill post later im out of town now and dont have access.
