^^^^^^^^
Yes...really want to try these seats. Just looking for some feedback first.
Can't get a reply from Exmoor as to availability ?

and that's the reason why I wouldn't ever give them my money. Their customer service is terrible!

I've used them twice recently for series parts and couldn't fault the service.

Can't comment on they're customer service, but what I can say is they are terrible at responding to emails. Probably a lot better to call with a query or purchase..

The Exmor E-Sports are basically Corbeau seats (Check out LRI Solutions). I have had a Corbeau from LRI in my 90 for a while now and gotta say it might be one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sit in. As comparison: My dad has the LR Recaro's in his 90 and these are way more comfortable in my opinion. More lumbar support and a longer seat base which is especially comfortable for the taller fella's.

I def. recommend these seats! Especially for the very reasonable price Exmoor is asking.

All sounds good but ....

1. Are they Corbeau derived seats?
2. What is the quality of manufacture?
3. Are they actually available & at what delivery?

Maybe I turn to LRI spend a little more for peace of mind.

Exactly. Which is why I'm reserving judgment until someone actually posts a review of the exmoor seats.

They may look like corbeaus but there are copies out there. Bad boy etc...

To be honest I would not bother getting the Exmoors. Corbeau's from LRI Solutions are very well priced, it's a far nicer company to work with (in my experience, their customer service is excellent) and all all Exmoor work I have seen and worked with for customers is not even close as nice as LRI. So can't imagine the E-Sports seats being nicer or possibly same quality. Even judging by the pictures on the Exmoor site, the covers look a tad sloppy in my opinion.

In my experience: get the real thing or don't bother.

I agree entirely with the above.

Exmoor's seats IMHO are a poor relation to the LRI product and as stated LRI's seats ARE the genuine article. The quality of the LRI trimming and stitching is really top quality.

What concerned me more thought was the level of disinterest Exmoor showed me as prospective client. If they are like this when you're buying what the hell are they like when you've got a problem?

I appreciate everyone has a budget to stick to but personally I would save your money and buy the genuine article or at least wait 12m until the Exmoor product has seen some proper field testing.
