Default Seats!

So I've been looking at a few things performance wise for engine and transmission...however one of the things I have GOT to sort out is my seats. Factory T/A seats for me are uncomfortable. They're not wide enough and they don't sit low enough for me to be truly comfortable.

So I've been looking for a pair of reasonably priced seats that are wide enough for my shoulders to fit into and that can sink lower than my factory seats. I've been looking mainly at the Corbeau A4, but I've heard mixed reviews. I'm about 5'11'' 210 lbs and I've got pretty broad shoulders.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

I have a pair of Corbeau Forzas (fixed back) in my car and I really like them. I don't think they sit lower than the stock seats though. I am 5'11 180 and I fit very nicely in them, have about an inch or so of headroom. I don't know what they would be for the set because I bought them at different times, but one seat and bracket was about $450 to my door. pic was before I picked up the second seat

I'm 5'11", 225lb, and find my TA seats to be very comfortable. Are your seats the ones with the power lumbars in them?

These are the type of seats I have, with the exception of the controls for movement and reclining.

I got the Corbeau A4 a few years ago. Being 6'3" 260lb, I got a few options to better fit me. I ordered the seats in WIDE, lowered 1/2", (shaved down) manual lumbar and double locking sliders. They fit in the car perfectly, slide back further than my stock power seat AND the seating position is a bit lower than stock.

No regrets, they're superior to my stock Camaro cloth and the bolstering isn't too aggressive for wide shoulders. Oh, and the customer service from Corbeau was excellent!
