PROS vs CONS
Corbeau CR1s - great seats for the price, suede fades over time but corbeau said they would replace it if it fades. The bottom cushions are flat and when you're doing brake dive bombs you'll slide up a little.
Recaro Evo IX seats - fantastic seats, very comfortable and I can get them for $900. And alcantara is a lot more durable than suede. Bad thing is that I will have to customize the rails and brackets to fit in my trans am.
Bride Stradia -best of the best IMO. Very comfortable, great you from every corner and is high quality ****. They cost around $1600 w/ bracket for one seat though. So if I were to get this I would probably buy a trans am passenger seat temporarily until I can afford a better racing seat for the passenger.

I don't like any of those very much. I think re-doing the stock seats is by far the best looking option. Those IMO just do not look as good as stock style seats in f-bodies...
One of my buddies got leather seat covers for his Firebird seats and they look amazing. I know they are more expensive than those seats, but they sure do look better.
Anyway, get what you truly want and that you think looks best...

I'm not necessarily getting one of these seats.. I'm just trying to see which seat out of the selection you guys like the most. I don't wanna spend 3 grand in seats though.. that's just ridiculous. I'm now leaning towards getting some Recaro Speeds in black leather and black suede in the middle, but the best deal I can find is around $2,000 for the seats and brackets. I'm trying to only spend $1700 at most. some guy on this forum is sellling his Speeds in that black avus material for $1500, so unless you goes down to $1300 I won't get them..cause it'll cost like $200-400 to reupholster them in black suede. AHH so much thinking to do . haha

alright well it's finally over . I decided to buy Recaro Speeds from a guy locally in black Avus cloth. and I plan to either contact Recaro and pay shippping to have them switched with black suede and leather speeds.... or if the shipping cost is too high i'll have them upholstered locally w/ all suede.

id go with the corbeau seats, i think theyre the best looking, the bottom does look kinda flat though, id just make the brackets so they are higher up in the front though to compensate for that.
i personally kinda like srt4 neon seats too, theyre look kinda cheap without recovering them with something nice though
