I told you joey, get 4th gen seats, they're cheape, look just as good, and are probably more comfortable
edit: and you can get the whole 4th gen set for around $400, AND its direct bolt in, so you don't have to buy any mounting brackets or anything else you might need from corbeau
or you could go w/ this from corbeau...

i think those look better, AND they're $80 cheaper... but i still say go w/ 4th gen T/A seats

I just got my Corbeau Carreas's about a mounth ago when we did a GP on them. We got them for $309 a peice which was a smoking deal in my opion. To me they are worth what you pay for them,they look great and are pretty comfortable.

i wish i had money to get then durnung the gp, as for 4th gen seats, i want seats that people will say "man those seats are awsome" not just have leather seats, but if i can get 2 black leather ones for fairly cheap i might go with that, there is no way im keeping my back seats, im probably going co build a custom box for some kicker L7's, im not going to buy anything untill january, so i have alot of time to think

Not for nothing, but I dont see whats great about 4th gen seats. THey look way out of place in the car and really makes the cabin look out of wack. I think leather<or vinyl> 3rd gen seats are the best way to go. Id even go for some 2nd gen seats but i dont know if they fit right.

What in the world do you need support for your sides or your legs. Thats the problem with new cars, takes all the fun out of driving. I dont need side support, i like the old seats.

Real racing doesnt require support for your legs or sides. just a back to the seat.

As for those seats, I think they're really cool. If I had the money, I'd go for them.
