I have the Corbeau A4's, really comfortable for me. I also liked them because the corbeau sliders bolted right up, no issues at all.

I think I paid $800 for everything .

I bought Corbeau LG1's but because Corbeau's brackets/sliders are very flimsy and break very easily under autox and road racing stress I had my factory brackets converted to fit the seats.

I have Hunsaker Synchros, CHEAP NICE seats. I like them alot. $450 shipped a set I think.

You have to buy brackets from Scat/Procar and mount the sliders to them.

i have some Bomz racing seats in mine. somewhere between 20-30 lbs each. got them for around $320 shipped for both, and reused the factory seat brackets after modifying them to fit. only thing left to do is tighten down the LG Harness bar and then install the cam-lock 4-pt harnesses i have.

Kirkey economy's here. Alot of people like the Pro's better but I don't have a problem with mine. I wouldn't reccomend them for a DD though! I don't remember the weight and about $450.00 for what you see. Seat's, brackets, and covers.
