One thing to note.... Stay at or under a 36" waist.
I put on some weight (38" waist) in the last couple years and found they were getting VERY snug in the hip area.
I have since lost 17+ lbs in 2 months and they feel GREAT again... Phew...
Everyone has a motivation for loosing weight... This was mine.

No stitched words on the seat at all.
I'm not into stuff that SCREAMS aftermarket add on part
That limited my choice a lot right there.
I did not want to spend 3000-4000 on some of the other seats available. Although the high $$ ones are beautiful !
Leather Corbeau A4's were a logical choice for my situation, and I would buy them again in a second.
One day if the leather wears out I'm going to get them recovered and maybe a red baseball stitching in them. Should look good with my Mod Red interior.
Hope this helps.

I want the leather A4's in my car, those look incredible! I'm sick of the stock Z06 seats. I drive my car too hard, and find myself trying to keep from sliding in the seat more than actually driving, LOL.

Seats + a decent tire are the two things that bring a stock Z from good to great. They are worth every penny.

My post lives again !

I agree Mr TT.... The seats were a huge improvement in how much more "fun" the car was to drive.

Do they make any with shock-absorbers?
I don't need "performance" enhancement, I need "pot-hole resistance"! I vanished inside one I think about two hours ago... all I remember is that I was driving along this afternoon and suddenly it got dark outside, then crash and the sun was out again.
Need seats with a Rectal-Rating of at least 8.6.

Would anyone happen to know if the Corbeau Sportline RRB will fit in the C5? The added cousion and thicker front edge appears that it would support legs better and provide a bit of a rear slope/lean that would be appealing to me because of my bad knees.

Here's how mine came out. Haven't decided on changing the seatbelts to black. Did find out these seats don't adjust as far back as the stock seats for those of us with long legs. Good thing I can recline
Nice having seats I don't slide around in
