Anyone have any suggestions on aftermarket seats? I'd prefer a seat that still reclines. Seems like to re-foam and rewrap the stock seats is more than just buying new seats. If you have pics please add.

^^Ever considered installing C6 or C6 Z06 seats in your car as another option? Seems to have worked well for those that have done it.

A4s seem to be very popular. I have non-reclining bucket seats, and I find them comfy

Of course, you left out a key part here. How much are you willing to spend...? The A4's are a decent seat for the price, with color, cloth, suede, and leather options. Its a tight fit, but they do move forward and recline...a little.

Some seats can retain full power control. But the price will go north as well.

Those are pretty sweet. They look really close to stock. Do you have these? Do they offer much more support? I don't need the ability to recline, but I do like to adjust from time to time. I like extra lumbar support.
