A new seat for us. Really good in Verts.

That's exactly what I thought after first glance as well.

I need new seats and am not impressed with the stock vette seats. I am not a racer and although the Corbeau A4 seem to find favour with many here, it may not fit my needs. I was looking through their models and was wondering if the Corbeau Sport Seat was any good and at 22 inches wide at the bottom, would it fit in a C5 vert.
Hey Bro,
I just saw these at a website where I found sliders for racing seats...these seats are very similar to the Corbeue Sport Seats you saw but will fit a corvette:

I looked at fixed bucket seats but my skinny *** needs more padding. I have the Corbeau A4's in leather and they are much more comfortable than the stockers and provide much more support.

I put a NOS kit on and loved it, but it didn't leave me craving more power like I crave more handling feel and control with every upgrade in that area.
For example, I have the Hotchkis Sport adjustable sways, but now want something even stiffer etc.
So I figured I'd just go right into the fixed back seat...this, like the Recaro Pole Position, contour ergonomically to your spine and is very comfortable, but not as comfortable as an A4 or similar.
That was the debate, a comfort seat thats sporty, or a sporty seat thats more comfy than average....I chose the latter based on my ongoing craving for more handling and control versus power.
I think most guys would probably prefer the A4 though as a daily driver.
I don't ever really take my car on a casual cruise though, even trips to the grocery store I bend it around every single curve lol
plus, this car responds really well to weight reduction, and these were lighter
I'm running about 180 lbs lighter than I use to and the car feels much more responsive and agile, so for me that was a consideration too.

they have it at Mid America Motorworks website in all colors.

I ordered another 12 ft to use in the door panels and around the air vents.
They sell welt cord for much cheaper if your google and find online upholstry supply places, but I didn't want to take a chance of the color not being right, MAMo has it color matched to all the vette colors.

They don't look comfortable too me. Looks like you're sitting in a hole. I wouldn't even want them in a race car. You must be a young man to be able to pull yourself out of those. I'd have to have some one help me out of them.
