Default New seat selection

Hi, any body purchase seats for our f bodies on ebay? Some of the selections look really good. Just wondering how comfortable they are and how they wear over time. Also is installing them with brackets they say are mated to our year- model really compatible?
Thank you in advance

NRG Black Reclinable Racing Seats Full Stainless Bracket for Camaro Trans Am | eBay
Yea I have those exact seats they are very comfortable for daily driving around town although I did opt to install a sparco 4 point harness after a couple weeks of using them with factory seatbelts as it rubbed on my neck and was quite annoying and also they mount up directly with the stock seat brackets so no worries there. (I was pretty happy that I was able to keep my automatic driver seat bracket haha), as for the wear on them I've had them the better part of a year and a half and it seems the driver seat is starting to bend slighty to the right but I'm a pretty big guy (250 pounds "6,3") and I ride with the seat reclined pretty far back. All in all id recommend them I get tons of complements on them and the install was simple and straight forward
