I can get them from Wedge Brackets. However they are $89/each. May be a better choice long term for me. I'm a good size dude, 6'1" 250#....

I have a set of the Ebay seats/brackets currently in my car, They look good and good support. There is a couple of of Ebay seller that sells the seats. The first set I order from Speed_Daddy is torn and have a slight issue with the return/refund, but Ebay stepped in and took care of it. Then I ordered a set from the dptmortorsport seller, I got the clothes cover for easy of clean and cool for the summer. I drive the car for a couple of long trip and no problem with support and comfort. I did raised the driver side bracket up an 1'' higher for better support. The only problem that I had was to re-drilled some holes in the after market bracket for the seat rails for a better fit. Also have to buy some extra hardware to mount the seats.(The Brackets you buy doesn't come with any mounting hardware) There is a write up in the forum show how to install this type after market seats and what you will need. Also you will have to switch the driver and passenger side to avoid the seat belt return space issue.
Hope that help. Good Luck

Good advice I left a lot of info out since I went over it in my personal thread. Got my seats from DT MOTO they shipped out of Chigaco and arrived in 2 days was very happy with that. Yes the brackets on my ebay seats had to widen some of the holes with a dremel. When I reused those brackets for my Cipher seats I had to drill new holes.
If doing C6 seatbelt conversion you are correct you switch the R and L for them to retract properly.

Still $300 for 2 -seats and 2- brackets(the dirt cheap route) that are sturdier,lighter,more supportive than stock crap is still an upgrade.

There is cheap and dirt cheap. I went dirt cheap at first to make sure a wider dimension seat would fit and function before plopping down cash on better seats. Since I've been a giuney pig I know I can fit a sit as wide 21" at the bottom which opens up a lot of possibilities.
