Need Advice: Racing Seats from EBAY, Question about Universal Sliders Options

[Chanh55]

I'm thinking about getting racing seats off ebay like the one in this link:

or

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-JDM-CARBO...010396045QQrdZ1

(just some examples)

Alot of these seats from ebay say they include "Universal Sliders".

I'm just wondering for those of you that bought seats like these off ebay, how "universal" are these sliders? Seems like people who bought racing seats have a lot of trouble mounting them in our cars and have to buy custom ones.

Need some advice, before I waste my money.

Thanks!

sliders is just the sliding aspec, its the actually base thats hard 2 get. I say if your gonna get new seats, spend the extra money and get some that will bolt in easily and are DOT approved. I was gonna buy a set of APC seats at one point, but found out that they werent DOT approved and i would have 2 modify the brackets. Like go with a set of Sparcos or momo seats, you can pickem up for cheap. I got my seats for $750 each, and about another $200 for the brackets, sliders and adapters and mounting hardwear. Like its around $1700 give or take im spending on the seats, but in the end its gonna b better. Plus if you modify ur brackets/some one else does and u get into an accident, ur insurance company could/most likely will drop ur claim on the spot, aswell as the person who did the modification could be sued.
