I have Corbeau VX2000 seats in my car. Black cloth with black vinyl inserts. Cheap price but man they are comfortable.

I'd go with Arizen if you're looking for leather. They can customize them for you too.

Corbeau here. Nothing wrong with Sparco either. They are an Italian company that makes great racing products. Don't let the fact that dumb *** ricers like the stuff deter you from a quality product. They are Pricey though.

Anybody that thinks Sparco is ricey would be a moron and obviously doesn't pay attention to various types of motorsports.

But anyway a lot of the other stuff mentioned in this thread seems ok, I've heard Corbeau's seat brackets suck though.

Not a Camaro, but I put these in my truck. Price wasn't too bad, about 475 for both. I was actually thinking about putting in some re-upholstered camaro seats.

I like Corbeau, but they fade bad.

Arisin are recovered Mad racing seats with the side bolsters stretched and they weigh more than stock. I have been to his place in Montville CT, and seen them. they are nice looking, but costly as well.
