Default Does anyone have Corbeau A4's?

Hey guys, it's about time to upgrade the seats in my C5Z to something better for HPDE I've heard it really helps your ability on the track.

I'm looking at the Corbeau A4's in Micro Suede or leather but I've heard some bad things about them. My main concern is the seat not going far enough forward and being blessed with short legs this is huge issue for me. So with that being said does anyone in the area have them in their car and would mind me getting a feel for them?

Thanks.

Also interested in FX1's I'm a pretty small guy so I think these would fit me better.

I have the A4's in red cloth. I'm 5'11 but like sitting what most would consider close to the steering wheel and have no problems. They are definitely a huge improvement over stock seats and really hold you in place

I have the A4's and yes they are an improvement over stock to hold you in place. I am 6'-2" and the seats are as far back as possible for me.. You can mount them as far forward if you wanted to to get you that much closer to the pedals.

Microsuede A4's here.

About 5'10" with shoes on

I have my seats one notch back from all the way forward.

You're welcome to check them out if you make it out to

I have a set I'll sell, if you decide to buy.
A4s micro suede with manual rails and brackets for both. The driver seat was installed for about 300 miles. The passenger seat has not been installed.

Also, do you have any issues using the stock seatbelts with the A4s? It looks like you can still use them with no issues.

I have stock belts and haness's on mine and they are no problem..

The real deal here is how to bypass the airbag warning light?
I used the PFADT plugs and it did not work.
Anyone have any suggestions or tricks?
