Default Rugged Ridge XHD Offroad seats

Hey guys, has anyone bought these Rugged Ridge XHD Offroad seats??
http://www.quadratec.com/products/24215_03XX_PG.htm#

I cant make my mind up between either these or the Corbeau Baja RS seats. The deciding factor is really the fact the that Rugged Ridge seats are a direct drop in with the stock mounting brackets. Where as the Corbeau seats require you to buy an adapter bracket which is an extra $100 per seat.......no bueno. I cant seem to find any good reviews on the Rugged Ridge seats.
Thanks

I've already gone to both of the main jy's around here and they dont have anything worth a crap they're all rained out and molding. Plus I want to color match my seats with the jeep.

I was wondering the same. They seem like a decent attractive seat but, I haven't seen any reviews either.

I've sold a few, but as of yet no reviews provided by the buyers. Some folks simply don't have the time or desire to add reviews.

There are just simply no decent reviews out there for these seats. Btw Frank I'll be ordering your LA kit here in just about 2 weeks, painted red of course to go along with the color theme ive got going on!! My only concerns are the fitment for example how tall is the back of this seat in comparison to the stock one and side to side how much tighter would it be against the middle console and the door, how much taller does it sit than the stock seat.....etc etc being that im 6'3 and all.

There are relevant reviews out there, you just have to drill down into your search engines results to find them.

Keep in mind that reviews for seats don't mean as much as you might think. Not everyone wants the same thing with regards to personal comfort.

I too am wondering about these seats, and sort of reluctant to buy them without *somebody* saying they're good. Has nobody on this forum bought and installed them? Seems like no one has...

Frank do you drop ship them or do you have them in stock? If you have them in stock, what's your take on them?

I've ridden in Jeeps on and offroad with the Rugged Ridge, S/B XRC, Master craft, and Corbeau Baja RS seats. When I replace my seats after installing a cage I will be going with either Mastercraft or Corbeau they were much more comfortable after a entire day of wheeling. and the seat material made with better quality.
