Define what your asking about seat movement ?
It moved forward/back, and the back tilts back/forward.
It does not have the rocking C5 seat issue...

I wanted to run the wides, but I am still looking at options. There are a few really good seats out there, but there is also a lot of garbage. My *** is picky 
I was looking at these:
I can't decide, but I am rebuilding the driver seat this weekend regardless.

Did a drive from DC to Daytona back in March. No comfort issues at all.

There is a tuner shop here that has a few knock off seats, but they don't look or feel as good as the Corbeau or Bride. Here's a pic from the craigslist add.

Note, I was running 3 point belts as well, if you ran a harness + A4 I'm sure it'd be plenty for even a pretty high level driver.

Here's what the look like in my other sportster. I'm strongly considering replacing the factory seats in my Vette with their tan leather seats.

By chance is it possible to get the black leather A4s with red stitching. I'm sold on these seats due to this thread, just read from start to finish. Be ordering this week, thought maybe in the past two years they ought have the red stitch option

The hunt continues. I am rebuilding my drivers seat this weekend, but I'd love to get seats before spring driving.

The ONLY reclining seat that will fit the C5 is the Corbeau A4... no other seat is a direct bolt in that will fit easily.

We used to sell a brand called Cipher Auto and their cheaper seats were REAL cheap and would not last more than a year. We had alot of issues with the reclining mechanism which is a safety issue. We stopped selling them.

As much as I love the look of those Cobra knockoffs and some of the Cipher seats look nice, I just looked and a set of A4's with heat is still under $1000. I would rather spend a grand now and be happy than a few hundred a couple times until I found something that works.
