Default Got my Corbeau seats***PICS

Got my Corbeau GTS II seats and mounting brackets. Very good quality and very supportive. They feel like the seats I had in my old GTO and the leather looks and feels like whats in my dad's mercedes. I'm going to install them next week, but I can already tell that I will be pleased. I'm 6'3" so the stock seats were just too small and the headrests were more like neck rests. Heres some pics:

Got them from racing-seats-usa.com. Seats are $640/pair but I payed an extra $450 for leather. Brackets are around $65 each I believe.

Yeah, when your head rests actually fit like neck rests they become neck-snapping-rests in the event of an accident. Nice purchase! It was really another 450 bucks for leather? Jeeeeeez! I guess you paid good money for good quality

Actually that was the main point of buying seats. I want them to sit high. I'm 6'3" .

Yeah but if they sit high for him at 5'7 your head will be through the roof wont it? A friend of mine has some racing seats in his 02 Z28 and I have to scrunch down to drive it. I'm 6'2 damn being tall!!

Just threw them in. Haven't taken the car out for a ride yet but sitting in them in so far I'm very pleased with their feel plus the corbeau brackets are slightly slimmer than the stock brackets so head room is just a bit more. Now I gotta go on a rode trip and see if I still love them. Only issue I have is how to mount the seatbelt brackets that mount on the stock headrests.

Those seats are looking pretty fine! You might have to just take the seat belt brackets off...I can't imagine any way to jerry-rig it half way worth wile.. Swat

How about for that roadtrip you come to San Jose so that I can check your seats out in person. I've been looking at those for a bit, but I wasn't sure about them since I want to see how they look installed. They look really good in your car..
