Default Corbeau seat question?

Do you need to buy the brackets to mount the seats, or can you reuse your stockers? I'm thinking about jumping on a set of CR-1's from speed inc.

You need to buy their slider brackets. $78 each. If you want to do some fabricating you could probrably reuse the stock sliders. Also beware that my Corbeaus faded quick and they wanted nothing to do with helping get them fixed.

Getting brackets too brings the project cost over $800.

Yep, they fadded quick and it's not like my car sits in the direct sun all day. This is what they looked like after 4 months http://nitrousfedmuscle.com/corbeaus/ . I sold mine for Kirkeys. They are actually more comfortable than my Corbeaus.

Take the $800 and get a nitrous system in that car.

that faded enough for you??!! I used those seats every day for 5 years (in 3 diffrent vehicles) until I got my Camaro last year at this time. I just went and pulled it out of my last car and am gonna use 'em for a while til I decide on which Corbeau I want.

No, its an A4.

A little of both. Its a little narrow for me and I only weigh 135. It is one of those mods that I will do to EVERY car I own from here on out, they support you in just the right spots. I have the FX1 as well but don't like it. I always wanted to try a fixed back seat, but I guess I was wrong. I am leaning towards the Legacy's now that I have sat in these again.
