Default 6liter eater seats... questions...

Ok hopefully this thread doesn't start a huge controversy like my last one...
I am looking to replace my seats. I hate the stock ones. (if anyone wants to buy 2 ebony leather front seats pm me lol)
So I looked at 6LE and his seats are 650 for the leather no-name seats. I found the exact same seats, I think, on ebay for way less... and was wondering if these are for sure the same ones? Also, if not, what makes 6LE's better? Can anyone step in and give me a black and white answer about the quality? They seem nice, but again, they're just Chinese made and probably lacking quality... But I want to know for sure. The structural integrity and leathers quality is important. I am also looking at Corbeau's "Sport Seat" which go for 320 a piece in vinyl. I found them for 230 a piece plus 50 dollars shipping for the set. Now Corbeau is a huge name in seats, and will spend the extra money if the quality on the no-name seats is lacking. Heres the link to the ebay ones. Please someone chime in, even you 6LE, and basically give me your guys' feedback on the quality of these no-name seats. Thanks in advance!

There was a thread about this. It may have gotten locked or deleted. Basically 6LE has them modified some to fit brackets better and also his price includes shipping. I'm sure he will step in and clear things up. Also he has great customer service of course.

Exactly. As some people who have bought other seats (and then my brackets thinking they'd save money buying seats elsewhere) have found out the hard way, I pay to have my seats modified at the factory so they fit our cars better...

Well, I understand now that they are the same seats but 6LE modifies his to fir better. Check. But are the seats themselves of high quality? Leather and frame?

Those seats you linked above are perfect - offer those with a plug and play bracket and an embroidery option on the top (not head rest) "section" and i'm in!

Do the 6LE seats need the custom brackets or will the universal one work that comes with them? Also, are these still in only black? Thanks

As far as I know, I'll be one of the first to put the Corbeau Sport Seats into a 98-02 F-Body. I Also ordered the brackets from Corbeau. Will make a detailed write up once I get them, which I CAN'T WAIT!!!
