Default Who is or has used Corbeau seats?

I'm interested in picking up a set of either the A4 or Legacy seats and would like to hear from those that have experience with them. How comfortable are they, how's the build quality, support, etc?

Thanks,

I've been using the Forza seat for the past couple years. Made some custom adaptor blocks to bolt to the stock rails. No complaints really, could be a little narrower and tighter fitting, so I took the cover off and added some 1/4" close-cell foam to the sides and back.

I'm with Daniel...I too am considering some Corbeaus.

I sat in Aribop's awesome S2 at a recent drive we did and fell in love with the factory sport seats. Problem is, most of the sport seats that are for sale are in need of being recovered and/or are the wrong color, or are not power. If I go with the sport seats, I'd really prefer to go the power route.

So, after seeing all the activity recently about the Corbeaus, I've started looking at them as an alternative. If I went that route, I'd go with either the TRS or GTS II...possibly in leather.

So to continue Daniel's request, who has them (specifically the TRS or GTS II, for me), and got any pics of them installed?

Thanks folks...

Daniel,
Look in the Rennlist classifieds. There are some black ones listed for $800.

I have the GTS 2 in my car and absolutly love them. They really hold you in during hard corning and are comfortable for long rides. If you want i can take some pictures on them in the car.

I have Corbeau TRS seats in mine and absolutely love them. The quality is great, the material has faded a little in the 3 years I had it sitting outside, but they have not shown any wear except that.

The back and bottom is very supportive and comfortable and the install was a breeze. One of the mounting holes was off a little, so I took a dremel to that, but it was still only about an hour to get them in.
