Sparco Fighters, but to some they are considered ricey, dunno why. I love them. But, they are quite expensive.

There are about 4 major threads running now....
Take your choice...Arizen and Mad Racing seem to be the current favs'

Corbeau, Sparco..Recaro are all more costly and maybe more race oriented..but fit and quality for all seem not to be much of a issue

I bought a set of used Caobeaus and had them recovered..they turned out really nice

i also have corbeau legacies and i just got one installed last night!!!! im about to go start on my drivers side right now. yea bitviper i decided to install them this way till i get those sliders from corbeau even the passenger side feels high i worried. lol but i dont know when ill end up getting them so for now its fine. sorry didnt mean to osama your thread. i love my corbeaus cause they flip forward. i had a set of sparcos in my v-6 but i hated it cause they didnt flip forawrd to let people in. if you ever plan on having rear passengers again make sure your seats have a quick release like mine, or make sure you only roll with midgets

the recaros are identical in a sense to the arizens, which are available also by mad racing for cheaper...if that helps. Black leather FTW...

They are considered ricey cause some people watch to many movies. They are nice Italian seats made for performance. Little pricey but not ricey.

i think red on black is classic if i ever bought a c6 it will be black with red leather or red with red leather, same goes for a gto. and i think red and black in most cases compliments one another pretty well. just my .02 cents
you should see who you live close to and check out all the different seats you can and then make a decision. where do you live?

I was meaning red seats in our all black interiors would look bad.

look up some local stores that carry racing seats, it should be on some of the major brand racing seat websites under dealer locator. Try corbeau

I love my CR1's which are a much more aggressive seat..(read tighter fit) than the Arizens an Ive been on a couple of very long trips....never a problem wuith comfort...so Im thinking the Arizens which are not as tight would be a great seat
