Default JDM Carboy seat brackets

If anyone has had experience with Carboy's SPARCO Seat brackets please lemmie know what you thought of them. I'm considering getting a set, but don't know what they are like. I'm a little skeptical about them because the price for the pair is even less then SPARCO's price for one. Thanx in advance!!!

There service was ok with me, their shipment was a little late but not the worst i've had. I was mainly concerned with the quality of their brackets. The other JDM Carboy complaint thread deals alot with body part fitment, but it's really hard nowdays to find bodyparts that truly fit universaly.

One person did mention buying the brackets and having to have them fixed at a shop to get them to fit.

I bought those same brackets for my old seats a long time ago. I bought them for $65 each from a local shop. Genuine Sparco lasercut brackets. JDMCarboy's asking price of $133 for the pair seems about right. Mine didn't include the sliders though, those cost me extra.
On JDMCarBoy's website, do you know if that price INCLUDES the sliders? It's unclear because the "exploded view" diagram shows the sliders but the item description mentions only brackets.

I've read the the thread already, my concern is not with body parts or service, my concern is with the quality of the seat brackets and if infact they are sparco's.

I think EKyUR*'s point was that even if they are sparco brackets it's very likely they might not show up.

I had these bracket and I can say that they actually fit with no problems. BUT the service at JDMcarboy sucks so ******* much I dont care how cheap he sells them for, I wouldn't buy from there again.

i dont know about the sparco ones but i bought the other ones the same time i bought the seats from JDM car boy, they dont work with the seats at all, i had to get another piece of metal welded on, i payed $124 for them, he also wanted me to pay shipping to send them back so he could check them out,


heres some other opinions:
