For sure you can get brackets for them. As I understand seat mounts are pretty much universal, just either bottom or side mount. Also you can always re-drill holes to fit your seat.

They're a "Japanese" knockoff company that subcontracts work to China/Taiwan/??.

Measure the distance from bolt to bolt and compare it to major manufacturer's seats. If they're the same, then just get a bracket that fits that manufacturer's seats.

It's really not that hard.

While were all on the subject does anyone know what a good all around Sparco seat is? Dont really want to pay more than 300 a seat. I was checking out the Sparco Speed seats but wasnt sure of how it was.

for 300 a seat, just keep your stockers

nothing u can get for 300 is a worthwhile upgrade

I have a speed. It is VERY supportive, pretty light, affordable, and I think it is FIA certified. It is a bit uncomfortable though, especially if you're a pretty big guy like me (38" waist). I'd imagine if you are a smaller guy it would be reasonably comfortable though. I wouldn't pay $300 for one though. I got mine used for like half that with bracket and slider. If you're tall though you will want to remove the slider and mount it straight to the bracket (like mine is), you just have to drill the mounting holes where you need them to position it correctly for you.

The speed is fine! You really don't need a $600 seat to hold you in place. There are plenty of options in that price range that would be WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than the stock seats!
