Default Seat replacement

So my 84 seats are on their last leg, since I am pulling out the seats to replace carpet, I thought about looking into putting new seats in. A friend of mine has a new set of Corbeau A4 seats that he is willing to give me for $500. Any tips on install. As always, thank you for the advice.

In order to install Corbeau race seats in my car I had to get seat brackets made for my car. I am pretty sure you would need to do the same. You can buy them from Corbeau or one of their dealers.

Why not rebuild the originals?

I am redoing the interior black (was brown) the springs and brown leather are pretty much shot at this point. So I thought for $500 I could have some comfortable seats that hold well for DE days too. I saw the brackets cost around $100 so not too bad. Not really sure what it would cost to recondition the seats and get them redone in black. Any referral would be apreciated.

How about ProCar seats, I have sat in these and the Rally seats are real nice better than out stock ones.
