How much are those new speed direct seats for the pair? and do they come in different colors?
We are still working on pricing but for the pair they should sell for about $800. That will include 2 seats and all the mounting hardware. The GTS II is available in black and gray cloth as well as leather. Obviously the leather will cost more than the cloth.

Make brackets that fit the A4's and I will buy some fore sure, or do these work with all corbeau seats.

Those Summit "leather look" seats look great in the catalog but I have no idea whether they will fit or not. I can fab brackets or have some made easliy enough so it is the width that concerns me. I may call them someday to find out if these will work or not. They are cheaper than re-covering my factory seats & should be more comfortable on long trips offering better support.

We think they will work with all Corbeau seats but that doesn't guarentee that all of their seats will fit in a C3. We will be working to check the fitment of the other seats offered by Corbeau. At first look I don't see why the A4 wouldn't fit. There is still the issue of height. Even with our mounting brackets a person over 5'9" or so could find thay they sit too high. This is why we modify the seat as well.

Defensive driving and accident avoidence is what makes a Vette safe:) My Vette starts, stops, doesn't roll over as easy, and turns quicker than my 4 X 4 pickup

So it's safer untill I hit a solid object. That's when the stiffer frame and roll cage with 5 point racing seat comes in.

I bet my vette could take out a couple of mini rice cars :flag
