Have you guys seen this place?
Corbeau Seats...................
Prices look pretty reasonable, but I know nothing about the company. LS1Speed sells them (I think) and will price match, so that's always an option. Good Luck!

called racingseats.com and Ls1speed.com and waiting calls back for the GP.
I'm going to tell them that the seats that should be included are the A4, TRS,FX1 and Forza because those are the ones that I have heard fit the C5

Do they sit lower than stock seats?
Ideally I would like to retain sliding capability, and sit lower.

2. I have heard the A4's sit a bit lower.
3. You'll retain sliding...

My understanding is that the Corbeau A4 is too wide to fit between the center tunnel and the lower seat belt retractor. So if you put one in either the seat can only go as far back as the retractor or you have to ditch the stock seat belts. See this thread and this thread
I also recall reading that you need to put the what is typically the drivers seat (recline adjustment on the left) on the passager side and vice versa. Not sure if doing that will allow you to clear the lower belt retractor or if that something you need to do in addition to removing it.
Can anyone clear up the fittment issues for me? I'd love to put these in, but I'm not going to remove the stock belts and I need the seat to go back all the way.

mathia,
I put A4s in my vert, and had no fitment problems whatsoever. The drivers seat went in where it was supposed to, and likewise for the passenger seat. Reclining handles are facing outwards on both sides.
Use the C5 adapter rails from Corbeau and you should have no problems.The rails have several holes where the seats mount to give you the best "fit" in your car. From what I was told, the A4 is the only reclining model Corbeau makes that'll fit in a C5. HTH.

I'm very very interested in a group purchase. The A4's do have to be placed in opposite. Meaning the passenger side on driverside and vice versa. Simply because of where the levers are to go forwards and backwards. Another thing is that I do believe that the A4's are the only one's that decline that will fit a C5.
Now I have one request. I really don't want the embroidery of "Corbeau" on the headrest. I just want a plain black leather. I've seen it before and it just makes the cars interior look clean.
If I become involved in the gp is it possible that I can get this customly done?
I'll pay attention to this thread.
