Better seats
I am looking for better seats. I have an 81 with black leather option, but we find the seats somewhat uncomfortable for long distance road trips. My wife has a Mustang Cobra and the seats are wonderfull. Any ideas as for better black leather seats? Help please as I want to road trip to Florida again. 3k round trip. Al

I have been researching seats lately and found that Corbeau makes a C3 model specific mounting bracket for their seats that will allow you to bolt in any Corbeau seat directly.
Check here: http://www.corbeau.com/service/seat_brackets//
I am not sure if they work with any other brand of seats.
And according to this page the A4 appears to be $320 a per seat plus the $94 per mounting bracket, so figure $400+ per seat:
