I'm pissed. These seats do not it in my car. I dont even see how it is possible. Plus where it says to re-use stock bolts is bs. I re-used the stock bolt for the seat belt holder and the stud broke off from the seat.

I can't even get the seat to sit down on the stock bolts on the floor. The handle for the recline hits the drivers side even with another inch to go before the bracket will meet the stock bolt.


Edit: Just to clarify. Does the recline handle go towards the outside of the car or inside? Mybe this is my problem if it i supposed to go towards the center console.

it goes toward center console bud

You need to swap the passenger corbeau into the drivers side, and vice versa. This is due to the width at the bottom. Also make sure the seats are not reclined backwards at all (back of seat all the way forward) when installing. This will give you room to get everything in place before utilizing the recline aspect of the seat. I installed my seats with the stock bolts, but I did purchase the corbeau seat mounting brackets as well (ditched the stock power brackets on both sides).

The seats are suppose to be flip flopped... driver on the passenger side and the passenger on the driver side... do that and you should have no problem.

Give me a call at 408/667-0531 if you need any more help

lol. Sorry for the rant guys. I was pissed when I broke off the stud and I thought the seats didn't fit. But I do need to find somewhere to drill out that stud center so I can run a bolt through it.

ps. I never saw anywhere that has said these seats needed to be flip flopped.

Installed mine yesterday! Felt a little tight at first but I got used to them and love them! Stock seats are terrible looking back now. I was surprised how effortlessly it is to take turns in the car now. No more hanging on to sit up straight. Feels like a whole new car.

Congrats !

Now you understand why good seats ARE a performance upgrade.

lol yes. I tried an interstate off ramp this evening. Before the max speed I could hit was 55. I took it at 60 effortlessly. I'm real anxious to see the results too after the solid end links and c6 z51 sways I have laying in the garage.



I took some pics for those of you interested in how they compare to the stock seats. I took out my stock seats just as I had them set in the car. Which is to the lowest setting and tilted up in the front a little. On the corbeaus I used a bolt on the front to bring it up a hair to get some recline.

TPSMak

Yup.... no one really understands how much much good seats will transform the driving experience. Great seats allow you to focus on driving and not trying to stay planted.

I'm jealous, I've been using a 4 x 4 behind my seat for my rocking and containment issue.....booo

Someone in another post said that the A4's on Corbeau brackets were HEAVIER than the stock seats. I don't believe that is correct.

Has anyone actually weighed them to see the difference ?

Toque

I havent seen a weight comparison. But just by me handling each one I dont see much of a difference. Both are fairly heavy. The corbeau's may be a tad lighter but nothing crazy.

I weighed my stock seats when I took them out. My A4s are in the car but not bolted down yet. I will weigh them before I bolt them down.
