Corbeau Seats :thumbsup:
On Monday I dropped a pair of Corbeau A4's with the Corbeau Brackets into my 03 GT.
I officially love these seats. Stock GT seats suck... they have no side bolstering, offer no good driving positions, and are made of a very cheap (or is it imitation?) leather. I wasn't a fan of burning my *** off in the california heat on leather anyways. Cloth is better IMO.
This morning I drove to school in the seats, its a 40 mile drive, half of which is through Topanga Canyon and Pacific Coast Highway. Topanga is a few miles of very windy road... in the stockers I was sliding around. Not with the Corbeaus. They hold you in a perfect driving position around the corners, and offer a more comfortable seat position than the stock power seat does. They sit slightly lower too for more of a sports car feel.
Add in the weight savings, and these are a great mod. Anyone who is looking for seats, forget waiting around for a good deal on Mach 1's or Cobras. You won't feel the difference with those like you will with the Corbeaus. I paid $860 for the seats and brackets (320 per seat, 85 per bracket plus tax) and would do it again in a heartbeat.

My GT seats are fine with no sliding around and very comfy.

Wasn't saying you are getting paid to say it. It just sounded really advertisementy (is that a word lol) to me. Like something somone would get paid to say or write in an article. That's all.

I'm real curious about this. I'd like to get some but have them custom wrapped in leather. Where did you get them. Can you still use the stock Seatbelt ok? Can you feel bumps more?
My biggest complaint about the stockers is the fact that I have to slouch because they sit up too high.

Pics tonight.
Stock seatbelts still work, the corbeau bracket has a spot to attach the stock buckle to. Bumps aren't any more noticeable. Corbeau makes their seats with a leather option, but then its $1200 for just the seats. I didn't want it anyway.
