Question on racing seats from ..Ebay

I've done a search and couldnt find any help so i decided id ask. I've been looking for some cheap yet better seats than what i have in my cobalt right now. A buddy of mine bought a pair of those ebay racing seats. The ones that call theirselves the "EVO" seats. They run about 230 a pair. He likes them as well as i. My question is on the cobalt the description says custom brackets are needed but you can use the Sparco or Recaro brackets. As well as they come with sliders on them. My question mainly is , with those brackets from Gravana tuning that are for sparco/tenzo/recaro seats, would this me a directly bolt on application? Has anyone else installed the generic racing seats from ebay into their Cobalt?

Thanks in advance

i just bought 200 dollar seat covers that look pretty bad..putting a new thread up soon.
And i'd definately do supporting mods for your cobalt before even thinking about ANYTHING else.
Glad to see someones finally growing a sack and doing something with the 2.2 besides tummy lol

If your planning on getting cheap seats make sure they have a double lock on them otherwise you could have some serious back injuries in a accident. The single locks and the cheapo double locks have been known to fail and cause your back to twist violently in a accident.

i definitely want to see pics of those seat covers, for 200 bucks im sure they are bad ass. and yeah i am definitely not gonna sit here and let the 2.2 go to waste. too many civics and eclipses in this town that think their badass w/ their loud exhaust setups and intakes that think they are the **** b/c they can run 15's...they need to be taught a lesson.
