Corbeau seats: Can I keep/use my electric seat motor?

I was looking at some Corbeau seats. I was curious if I could keep my stock electric seat bracket. It works fine, and I love it.

I'd hate to take it out and replace it with manual levers. Do I have to?

nothing is impossible, but this sure isn't worth the effort. Your stock seat rails won't bolt to the corbeaus. In the case with my Flo Fits, it wasn't even remotely close, so I wound up modifying the Flo Fit brackets to fit the car. The width of the stock brackets was nowhere close to matching the seat frame. The only way would have been to build a steel plate, which would have resulted in the seats sitting too high up.

Do you really adjust your power tracks often enough to really need to keep them? Once I got the seat where I want it, I never touch the adjustment again.
