Default Corbeau seats...

Has anybody put Corbeau Carrera seats in an A4 or S4? I'm thinking about getting some seats that hold better than the stock non-sport seats and Recaro's just aren't in the budget. Is Corbeau a good brand? Thanks.

Default You get what you pay for. They aren't so bad.

You will lose the luxury feel but if you are into any form of racing you'll love the racy, tightness feel to the seats.

(Just Dave- no comments please,..so I said "tightness"! pfff )

here's a pic of some reclining seats in my friend's neon. These cost under $1k US, shipped and rails included!

regards,
Liam

Default Actually RL put in a set of Cobra Suzuka GT full racing seats. I had his seats

stored at my house before he bought them from Juan at Werks of Art.

Default I have that exact seat....

Not in the S4 though. I had it in my Camaro and now it's my GT3 seat in the house. =) It's the Corbeau "A4", and they aren't very expensive, ~$300 a piece and rails usually run under $100.
The latches and stuff are not as nice as Recaro, and I found that seat kinda flimsy. But it got the job done, held my skinny *** in place during autocrosses...
