I sat in Josh's car and hated his seats. They really squeezed my legs together to tight. Josh is skinny so they are fine for him. Moral of the story, sit in your seats first if possible.

Edit: What he said.^ lol

Have you actually sat in both, checked adjustments and rear vision? Some seats fit better for some people than others, and if you're not happy with the fit/convenience then you might be looking to replace them later on. Also, you may be able to get some things like fitment adjusted if you install them for a while and try them out.

I added Corbeaus to mine and have a couple minor things to get used to like seat adjustment, and it is a little snug. The seats I swapped out before weren't as comfortable as I kept reading about. They were nice, just didn't work for me. Seats sometimes make the entire car seem different.

I have Corbeau's now. I just want something different. As previosuly mentioned, I wanted this seat way back when I bought the Corbeau's. I just didn't feel like spending $1500/per seat when I got the pair of Corbeau's for $1500 total.

If that's what you've wanted all along then by all means do so. I was only relaying my experience with both the Corbeaus and the previous seats. Both were different than I had expected.

We have done a tone of Chevelle and the Recaro is the most comfortable in that car by far. We also make a rear matching seat if you are interested along with Door panels and a center console. You could do your complete interior in one place. We can even wrap them for you or you can send it to your guys to do all that. Give us a call 480-748-2000

Those Viper seats look nice, I was thinking about those as well, how big are you? I am 6ft 200lbs, I sat in the Recaro Sportster C5 yesterday and it fit me like no other seat I have sat in. I have Recaro SE seats now and the side bolsters are too low so it wants to throw me out of the seat in turns. I sat in the Cobra seats and did not find any of them comfortable. The Sparco EVO 2 were very comfortable but no tilt back. Has anyone had experience with the Recaro Speed seat? Price is reasonable on the Speed but they did not have one in the showroom to compare where I went for a look. I had Corbeau seat years ago that looked like Recaro SE seats but they were waay to small for me and seemed cheap.
