Default Aftermarket seats comfortable?

I was looking at the Corbeau GTSIIs to replace my stock T/A seats. How comfortable are they? Anybody with Recaros? If so, how are they? I am primarily interested in comfort, and then how well they hold you in the seat. Thanks for any help.

Well, I had a set of Recaros at one time.
They were comfortable as hell, but way expensive.
I'm going to go with the GTS II's myself for my
T-Type. Can't beat the price.

I had Corbeaus in my 1967 Camraro and they were pretty darn good.. You really need to find a dealer that stocks them and spend some time sittin in the different seats.. its an individual preference thing..

I have Sparco Torino seats in my Supra and they are very comfortable. On long drives, they aren't the best, but around town, I love 'em.

I've got the Corbeau Carrera's and love them. If I wanted to spend twice as much I would have go the Sparco Milano's. That is a super sweet seat.

Sparco Tourino's here. A tight fit, comfortable, and a race car feel when getting in and out

Sparco Torinos in my Z28. However for larger guys I recommend the Milanos, I will be going with them in my SS.
