I've never heard of them and I can't find them on ebay. Do you have a link? There are a lot of seats comming from China these days. I'm sure the quality varies significantly as does the price.

Ok, well I'm not familiar with those particular seats but they look a lot like the Chinese seats I've seen. You can buy an entire shipping container full of them for a pretty good price. Did you notice that shipping, handling and insurance totaled $170? So you're really paying $270 for a set. I guess that isn't a bad price but mounting brackets aren't included and it doesn't say anything about seat sliders. I noticed that shipping and handling is not refundable so if you have to return them you will be out $170.

Hard to tell from the pics but they look very similar to the Chinese seats that Pep Boys sells for $200 a set. Cheaper than the E-bay price once you add shipping & insurance. Plus if they don't fit you can take them back locally.

Just a thought.

Yea , I read it carefully and frowned on the non returnable part . Probably not a very well made seat .

Think about what these seats might do to your back in the event of a rear-end collision...
