Default Question about racing seats

I have been looking for about an hour for some cheap racing seats and I found these two.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...88352402QQrdZ1

Do I need to ask the sellers if I need to buy anything extra to get them to fit and also if they would need any extra modificatoin to get them to fit?
My other question is which one do you guys like better?

I edited my post a lot right before you posted lol. Anyway I'm not really worried about them not being real leather I just want them to look ok and not be uncomfortable. The biggest thing is that I don't want to do any custom work to get them to fit.

go ahead and ask, don't expect an answer though, these ebay warehouse knockoff sellers aren't going to know their products. Oh, and "universal" sliders WILL require modification, either that or you will have to just use your stock rails.

ok I have two questoins about that, one would be whats the disadvantage to use using the stock rails and the other would but could I replace the sliders with a sparco track set like this and thats all I would need?

The seats already come with sliders, the thing is you need to get brackets that the sliders go into so they will bolt into your car. You can make them fit on your stock brackets but you have to do some fabrication, which is a big job to make it correctly.

I got the "univeral seats n sliders" off ebay and I purcashed the 92-00 seat bracket mounts and all I had to do to make them fit was bend a bracket a bit and re-drill the holes for the sliders.......
