I'm looking at the corbeau micro suede seats that look to match our interior. Does anyone have the Corbeaus? How do you like them? I'm concerned about Looks, comfyness, and ease of getting in/out. Let me know what your thoughts are, and show some pics if you got'em!

I called them to see about the availability of the seats for the Lightning. They told me to take my seat out and measure the seat frame bolt holes since they have about 20 different patterns for the F150 style vehicle. I really dont feel like doing that!

 

They are exactly opposite. Pretty stupid having light colors where you sit.

But I dig the black the most. As soon as I get some other more pressing issues (crash damage, x-factor, chip/pulley, new 3" belts) taken care of, I'm there. I have been waiting for Corbeau to offer some alternative to the crappy black fabric. The TRS wides, black microfiber, inflatable lumbar support, and sub belt slots are only $925 a pair. That's a bargain.

There would definitely be a challenge getting in and out with the higher bolsters, especially for shorter-legged drivers. But with 3" belts, you would be glued into the seat and ready for high-g action.

 

I was thinking of getting a set of either the A4's or the GTS II's in all black. I'm defenitely liking the seats though...post pics if anyone gets any. I e-mailed a local dealer for Corbeau but haven't heard back on pricing yet.

 

Tim, thanks for the input. I agree that the light insert is not the best idea, but my friend has an audi S4 and it is opposite of ours, leather (or faux leather) wear you slide in and out, and suede inserts where you sit. Much smarter IMO, it grips your butt to the seat! Also...I am definitly one of the "short legged people" at a towering 5'6'' :o so I don't want something that is harder to get in and out of. This is also my daily driver, I do a lot of in/out of my truck. I really don't see much high G action....just want something lighter, and also a reason to remove my factory seats so I can put them in storage and keep them mint. I would love to sit in a pair to see what they are like.

 

I just ordered a set of these. Not sure on the seat brackets just yet. Waiting to hear something back from Corbeau.



These are the closest thing I've found to looking like the stock seats.

 

Yaaa baby! Thats what I'm talkin' about! Let me know how you like them. And if you don't mind...where you got them and how much.

 

jim those are the business......i think the brackets for the lightning are E1123T and E1122T passenger and driver respectivly

 

Yes, those are the part numbers for the slider brackets. I ended up changing to the A4's in black/grey microsuede since the Legacy's ended up being on a 8-10 week backorder. Here's a couple pics of the seats mounted in the truck. Keep in mind that there will be a Expy console between them soon which should tie everything together better.

 

mmmmmmmmmm expedition console .......

 

Looks great, Jim!

P.S. I'm certain the stuffed animal on your floor is there to wave in the face of the driver of the Vette you just nuked

 

Jim,
