Default aftermarket seat question

im doing the interior of my car while its down and im thinking of swping for some corbeau seats. i like the cr1s and the frozas. the frozas are ~$120 cheaper though. are the fixed back seats as comfortable as the adjustable ones or should i just shell out the money for the cr1s?

I personally would NOT go with fixed back... No forward tilt was annoying enough with some aftermarket seats I had... Don't loose the ability to adjust over $120, you'll hate your car...

Sorry to bud in but those don't look like they have any lumbar support.

They have a **** that you turn on the other side and it makes the lumbar support come out...



In other words they do have it but it's adjustable...

Regardless, my plan is to get those seats and just have the center re-done with a constant BETTER lumbar (just a shaped piece of memory foam) and re-stich the center into two sections (instead of three) to look and feel more like my old Cerullo seats (like these):

I got the forzas in mine and it really isn't bad at all. Just takes getting used to after about a week or so I didn't really mind not being able to adjust it. The only pain is getting out of the seat haha

Now that would be pretty cool...I think I may have to end up doing the same.

I plan on running with the CR1's in the future. I think they look bad as hell. Black leather with silver vinyl corners. Custom ****!

I put red/black Sparco Milano's in my Firebird, and they look amazing. Everybody stares. haha. I think Sparco probably makes the most comfortable seats too.
