They're a pretty damn good price all things considered, anyone have any experience with this seller(import parts) or any info on the seats? :)

The only thing I don't like about Chinese seats is the fact that they are not certified for use on a race track or on the street. 

...so basically you can't use them. lol

I was worried about the lack of certs. I don't want plastic seats like GC has, but it's about all I can afford, lol.

How are the plastic seats you got working out, I know you've sat in it a few times by now.

aside from being REALLY REALLY cold in the winter, not bad at all, havent taken any hard turns in them yet but support is decent, i could add about 40 lbs tho.
but, flexible.... very flexible...
it'll do for now but once i start pulling serious Gs i think it's too flexy

Don't the cobalt seats sit really high?  You should be able to find a pair of 'race' seats used for a decent price.
03 Sonoma ECSB, 4.3 auto, bolt-ons, xtreme80 tune, ZQ8 steering box, QA1 coilovers and rear shocks, UB Machine UCAs, Spohn LCAs, tall balljoints, ZO6 wheels, race seats.

I don't think they sat any higher, if even as high as my blazer seats, but I'm sure without the brackets, just the sliders they are pretty close to the same, I no longer have one to measure though. "race" seats here in AZ do not come up very often, and not priced well. I'm talking $100 for the pair cheap is what I'm looking for.

Seats are one thing worth spending the money on. I got this seat for free for helping my buddy with a motor/trans swap. threw it in with a sketchy bracket for a few days. even being loose on the stock sliders the added lumbar support was night and day from stock 1st gen buckets.

'99 Sierra 2500 ~ 5.3L 4L60E daily/tow pig
