$600 for two seats is a great price. Never tried Corbeau seats but if they are on par with Cobra, Recaro or OMP quality I would definitely look at them.

Alex: I was first reluctant to buy them, but after doing lots of internet research I found that they are little known secret. The seats I have are great and come in two sizes for fat or small rears. Each seats with brackets weigh about 20 lbs at most.

HK--seats look cool but I think the poster needed them to tilt forward, and those are fixed...as for those Recaros, can you get them in leather? If I could get them in Black leather at a decent price I may be all about it [just not sure about the cloth front/rear leather combo]

Thanks! Air Kuul TT(Tony) and 993 in NC(Chris). I myself like them alot, they definitely hold you in, not like the Factory Sport Seats that look good but don't really do the job. To me the Factory Sport Seats aren't much better than the Stock Supple Leather seats.

PJConner(Pat) The pedals are pretty common you can get them at AJ USA not sure how much. I got my set at PartsHeaven in Hayward, CA. PM me if you want to know how much.

You can get Recaro Sports in leather and suede (around $1400 a seat). Personally, I like the Speeds over the Sports - better design and grip IMO. Speeds come in avus, vinyl or suede(around $600 - $800 depending on the material).

Speeds have higher side bolsters which too me are more for track since a lot of Track folks go with the Speed seats. Sports are more of a in-between track and everyday driving seat. You don't have to crawl out of the seat because of the higher side bolsters. IMO

Every seat fits differently for each person it's like a GLOVE. The best seat for YOU is the one that YOU fit the most comfortable in. I'm not sure about the other seats but Recaro makes them Wide or Narrow. So you basically need to go to a Auto Store that sells seats and sit in them.

Factory Sports seats are nice and plush but don't do the job. If I recall RECARO actually come from PORSCHE.
