My Corbeau TRS seats were over a grand for the pair + brackets, sorry . I think they retail for a bit over $500 per seat. The other options in this seat are much less though, these particular ones are this expensive due to the leather. Just search Corbeau TRS and you will see them everywhere

Depending on how much more I do to my car, I'll eventually get racing seats. You can easily out drive stock seats even with a stock LT1/LS1. All body roll from the suspension is directly transferred to your body and you get tossed around the car with crappy seats.

I am about the same height, though you have me a bit on weight, but my Cobeau A4's fit similar to stockers. I can actually adjust them well farther back from the dash on the mounts vs the motorized stock seat.
By the way, when budgeting for aftermarket seats, be sure price includes the seat rails (and sliders). Corbeau charges $100+ per seat for these things.

http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CCwQ8wIwBA#[/QUOTE]


i actually like the cloth ones more. i think they look better, and they probably wouldn't slide you around as much. i'm not too big but i'm 6'2" 200 pounds, so i need some seats that weren't made for a kid in his eclipse

i searched for the brides but to the guy who posted those, will you please send me a link?
