Hey everyone, i recently bought a set of Corbeau GTS racing seats. I loved the style and the fact that the brackets rasied you up about an inch or two in the car. But they have the worst material ever. My seats are 9 months old and went from black to purple, so buyer beware!!

apc seats aren't that great either. i wanted the corbeau seats but they were a little pricey compared to the apc seats i got. the material on the apc's are crap. everytime i get into the car i think i am going to rip the material on them.

Corbeau says they are going to make it right with me, just have to wait and see.

Corbeau is sending me SEAT COVERS. dont know how that will look but will let you know

Yeah the Corbeaus are pretty pricey for a low quality seat. The fabric isn't oem quality at all. If you want that kind of quality you have to buy Sparco, Cobra, or Recaro. Which means you'll be spending anywhere between $600-1000 per seat.

I would suggest Flo Fit seats. I have a set in my GTA that I bought used, and they've been in the car for well over a year now and still look great. They've got some of the sturdiest frames of any seat out there, and so far they seem to be very durable, and by far the most comfortable seats I've used.

my only complaint with the seats are that they are not durable, They are very comfortable and the frames are made well, so i love the seats just not the fabric

Ugh, I hate when black material fades. The sun is killer...I've had to replace the "tarp" or whatever it's called in the back of the car because of this.

yea mine is fading too but i wont feel bad about using black interior dye paint on that, just on $700 seats that are not even a year old...P.S. yet to see my seat covers

Will racing style seats fit into a thirdgen? I was looking at Summit Racing Seats (all black, look like the apc F1 seats) and was worried about them making me sit to high up (i'm 6 foot 2)

you maybe a little tall for aftermarket seat brackets but you can make your factory ones work, just try a search, i know someone has done it before. BTW, Corbeau just sent me new cloth for my seats!! But now i have to spend my money to get someone to put it on, well maybe

I have heard that 4th gen seat brackets are the same as 3rd gen but lower. that is what I will use when I get new seats. I am 6' 4"

DanTheMan_smlk

do you have pics of how bad the fading is? How do you install these seats? Im 6 foot, how tall are you? (you said the seats were higher....)

kretos

well corbeau will never see a penny from me, all they sent you was new covers? shoulda sent the seats back

BT283

im gonna try and make them pay to put the new covers on just need to call them, and DanTheMan im 5'10 and my head is about 2 or 3 inches from the T-top, what you need to do is modify your stock seat brackets to work instead of ordering the custom ones
and for pics i erased the ones i had to send to corbeau i will post some up in the next couple of day though
