Question Corbeau seat, opinions, who's got them?

I've been looking at both the Corbeau Sport, and the TRS and the CR1 seats, all in a wide size(6'1", 260lbs) and in black cloth. I'd like to know your opinion on these seats if you've had any one of them.

Thanks!

I have 2 black leather TRS's for sale. I like them a lot. I have to sell them unfortunately because I'm adding to my cage in my street driven car, and I was forced to go to a kirkey to get low to the ground. Mine are only 1 season old and although i didn't really look them over closely yet, probably in close to perfect shape.

Only thing is, mine is the standard width. I'm 6', 205lbs. I guess it depends how wide you are.

I have black micro suede corbeau Cr1's with the harness's. I absolutely love them. I took out all of the seats in my LE as soon as possible to preserve them. These Cr1's are really comfortable and they look awesome.

Edit: I'm 5'9" 165 lbs and I fit fine in the regular width seats.

Whatever you do, get the wide ones. I have the A4's, am 6'3" and 200 lbs and the standard width ones are snug.

NO experience with the CR1 or Sports, but I just sat in standard A4's and TRS's the other day. I'm 5'10, 200 lbs.
A4's had just a touch more thigh room than the TRS because A4 bolsters are not as aggressive. However, the shoulder bolsters were a little tighter in the A4 than the TRS. I think for your size you absolutely would need the wides. And it just depends where you carry your weight - bigger around the waist, I'd do A4. Bigger around the chest, TRS.
If you look at the dimensions, it should be the other way around, however that's how they felt to me.
It seems the CR1 is dimensionally very similar to the TRS.

Turbo, you have a pm from me.

I have the VX2000s in black leather, tried the CR1 and TRS, but the headrest was too short on both (I am tall).

Here is a pic of them in my car:

Starfishy, did you just leave the seatbelts hanging like that? If so, how is it? Do they ride up on your neck at all?

I have leather CR1's and have similar dimensions to you. They fit me fine, but I would prefer to be 30lbs lighter

No, runs over my shoulder just about in the perfect spot. I am tall, though, this may be different, depending on size.

The worst option is feeding the belt through one of the holes as I have seen repeatedly, that's really dangerous. Maybe attaching a clip to the seat would work if the belt doesnt work for you in this form.

I like the A4's the most. I'm still undecided on which ones to get though.
