Can you show me what brackets you're tlaking about, where are they? Will they lower the seat? I ws planning on getting corbeau fx1 pro for both sides and would just need a slider. Don't care for recline hence the bucket seat. But I wana be able to move back and forth. I am 6'2 and I hate the stock seats I feel up so high... My legs are larger... and while im getting an aftermarket steering wheel thats 330mm... still it would be nicer if it was lower

ebay mounts $74. search ebay : Fit 97-04 Corvette C5 2X Low Mount Racing Bucket Seat Base Tensile Steel Bracket
They are lower than the stock brackets and basically sit slightly above the carpet.
They are not sliders. They mount the seat to the car. My Cyphers seats and most seats have the slider built into the seats themselves.

yes the ebay is just to mount to the frame of the car. You will side mounts + sliders for your corbeau fx1. Or just side mounts and mount those to the ebay mounts for a permanent position

Gias and Stradia replicas fit on Planted brackets and whatever rails you get with no mods. And at that price, they will be "replicas". I'm switching out my Bride copies for NRG versions, which are a tad wider and need some mods to fit in, but I think I can make them work without needing a seatbelt swap.

Does anyone know if the eBay seat brackets have the same holes as the planted seat brackets? Will they work direct fit with the braum seats or will it require drilling?

I did have to redrill my own holes to get the seat more centered with these seats

Thank you I'll keep that in mind now. I actually like the eBay bracket heights because the planted and corbeau brackets have the front much higher than the rear causing the seat to tilt back.

With longer brackets in the front if you want to shorten it you have to cut and re weld. Whereas in the ebay style you can always add washers or spacers to raise it

Yes the ebay bracket heights are flatter which made me feel like I was sliding forward. I ended up buy front stud extenders to tilt the front up more https://www.marradind.com/proddetail.asp?prod=M18SE
