Gotelli's in South San Francisco has the full line of COrbeau's in the show room and you can sit them them and pick the ones you like. Expect to spend at least $800-$1000 becuse you have to get the seats and the brackeets and then if you want harnesses you are looking at at least another $100 [patriot]

Seems like everyone these days are going for the Corbeaus, many because of price. Recaros defenitely are overpriced, but the fabric on the Corbeaus are paper thin and I don't think they will last much longer than 30,000 miles. If they didn't have the patches over the bolsters, it would be even less. Most people who buy Recaros keep them for years and years and transfer them to each new car they may purchase. A good set of used Recaros will go for just a bit more than a new set of Corbeaus. Many OEM Recaros can be found on manufacturer cars too, VW GTi, Suzuki Vehicross, Evos, etc etc. I bought these pair of leather VW Recaros for $400 pic Here's another example of some leather Recaros that will probably go for around $600. They're red, I know, but you get the idea...

You can get any Corbeau seat in black leather also, it's just a matter of wanting to shell out the dough to do so [patriot]

Hahaha Sorry Kid but thats hella funny, Wait at least youll save some wait there... [Razz]
Princess Im not trying to be a smart ass but it also depends on your body type and size, I work out alot so some seats dont really fit my shoulders and back well. Hope that will help some in a descion you make. [burnout]

i had cr1's before needed some money sold it for $600 pair got some d.a.d. seat suprisingly they fit and fill almost the same way i think i payed like $400 for both and they came with universal sliders but your stock bracket will work.
you can search for them at ebay they got whole buch different syles.there not corbeu's,recaro's,or sparco's but they look aight and feel aight for $400 for the pair.

I used to have Corbeaus in my fastback. they were awesome in and out of turns, they were great for long trips. what really sucked was getting in and out of them. then again a cage wouldnt help either. the CR-1s are sick. i would have gotten those.
