Seats shipped fast and packaging intact. Assembly pretty easy, however it takes 4 long handled nut plates to mount the original seat bases to the new seats. Of the 8 for 2 seats required I have 5 servicable. Contacted amazon who replied quickly but could not help me cause they could not supply/replace parts only. Refunded me 20pct so l could purchase locally(?) Not much chance finding these custom parts, will have to have them made at a Fab shop.
Mounted drivers seat for now, pretty easy install. Very small though. Seat bottom hits me mid to high thigh about 2 inches shorter than original. This could be a long trip killer. Seat rails and adjust bar extends about 4 inches farther than seat front, don't know if that's an issue yet. Sit a lot taller now too, would not suggest for tall owners as my 5'10" head is about 1inch from roof. Stiffer foam and taller ride means top of headrest hits me mid neck, that could hurt in a rearender. I give it three stars due to the old seats were really so bad that it would not take much to be an improvement.

Pros: It's better than the broken factory seat that was leaning terribly to the right.Cons: It's not better by much.
Installation took way longer than it should have because the instructions were backwards. You are supplied with a picture of how the mounting bolt configuration should look for the passenger seat and for the driver's seat. The problem is that they have the pictures reversed. So do yourself a favor and use the passenger seat example pic for the driver's seat, and vice a versa.
Once installed I noticed two main things. The seat is quite a bit smaller, and it sits you up noticably higher. I'm only 5'11" 185lbs and the seat feels way too narrow, both on your hips/thighs as well as on your back/lats. Also, the seat cushion only hits you about mid-thigh so it's not very long. It's not terribly uncomfortable, but it's not as comfortable as the factory seat (assuming it's not broken).
Overall it's better than the alternative if you're factory seat is pretty banged up, but just be aware of what you're getting prior to spending the cash.
