Those are nice but you damn sure pay for them! I almost bought them but I decided to go a different route. I bought a set if Procar Scat seats at half the cost of the A4's and roughly the same size.

Everyone knows are cars are critical with seat size and mine even more so with a roll bar in it! I ended up cutting the floor out because I want to run an adjustable seat track. I am in the process of fabbing up the frame work now.

Yeah it's a Lil more work but it has saved me a lot of money that I need to put in the car else where.

I put a drivers only in my 70 for Autocross use. The seat is great.
Do a search for Vette Magazine C3 Corbeau seat install for the problems encountered.
Be sure to get the low profile seat tracks so there is enough head clearance.
