Default Tough decision: Seats or Shocks/Struts

Trying to make a tough decision between the two: I definitely need shocks and struts upgraded, but damn them seats are Killer. Other than my gauges my interior is all stock.

Just because I KNOW someone else will say it....BOTH!!!!

JK...If you NEED new shocks/struts, get those first. New seats won't do any good if your car rides like sh*t...but then again, those seats DO look damn good...

Glad I could be of help!

Since you need shocks and struts get em. Let the seats be your next upgrade. The seats do look good though!

Get the shocks/struts. They'll be more fun.

Not those exact seats but i sat in some Legacy Corbeau's at a Car show. All i remember is that the waist size up to 38 was fine for me. I wonder how they feel when you are driving.

seats make a lot more difference than just looks especially if you're into any kind of road racing... the stock seats do not hold you in place at all. also, you will save a lot of weight by putting the new seats in. i did my suspension and seats at about the same time. you will love your car again after putting in new seats.
