Default Anyone with Corbeau A4's in the Detroit Area?

Looking at some Corbeau A4 seats for my vette and would really like to sit in some before buying.

Contacted Corbeau, but they only have one local dealer and they don't have any A4's in stock, so it's time to reach out to the community!

I'm located in the Detroit area, please reply if you have some and would be willing to let me take a look!

Thanks

I'm 6'0" 175 lbs and 33" waist.

From what I read I think I should still be good?

Are you in the Detroit area?

Location added! Thanks for the suggestion, New to forum over here!

Will have to see if anyone in local corvette clubs has them!
OR just pull the trigger without trying it and get them.

I hear good things about the A4 and i cant stand the lack of support in the stock seats!

lots of reviews on them none really negative. I bought mine without ever sitting in them and really cant say anything majorly bad. I don't know how they would do as a track only seat but for the street they are super comfy and I dont miss getting into a burning pleather seat. I have the microsude

OP - those are my exact same measurements and I feel like the A4's were designed for my body by a tailor. Just go for them. If I had to redo however id skip leather and go for microsuede because the leather makes my back sweat like crazy. I heard suede and cloth can discolor but if you have tint and make an effort to park in shade everywhere you go like me I cant imagine them fading.

Perfect!
Did you go for the shaved base? Or was the regular fine for you?

If you're 6' tall, then you are 2 inches taller than me. I got the shaved bases and it was the right choice, especially if you ever plan on wearing a helmet comfortably inside the car
