The lever is not too bad to get to. I actually went to Home depot and got 2x Carabiner's like the one below. I took off the carabiner, and only used the strap. I put a key chain ring at both ends of the strap. I drilled a small hole in the end of the lever (~1/2" from the tip) and attached one of the key chain rings thru the hole. I now just reach down and put my finger thru the key chain ring at the end of the strap to lift up. I can't take credit for that idea, the guy I met locally did the same... I got 2x black straps (not red)...

Yes they do make them and it take 6-8 weeks to get the seats AND it adds about $350 PER SEAT

I'd be all over this if I could retain my power seat. Someone said there was a way to modify the stock brackets??? Anyone know? Anyway, nice mod, and nice lookin' car

How are the cushioning and lumbar support? I ask because the wife and I like to take lots of road trips. I don't necessarily want/need tons of cushioning, but I don't want any hot spots on a long trip either. Lumbar support is important to me. How do they compare to the stockies in that regard? Also, how is the head room with these, compared to stock?

I find the Corbeau seats are very comfortable. I was out for a ~2 hour cruise Fri night and I felt good after. There is an "option" for lumbar support but I did not get that. I find they are very close to stock height with the Corbeau brackets.
Thanks !

Does anyone know of somewhere within a reasonable distance of northern New Jersey I would be able to find this seat to try sitting in? 100 miles or so is not out of the question. I've been planning to do this mod for a while now, just haven't gotten to it yet. I would like to try them out first. BTW, how are they when getting in and out of the car, much more difficult or not? When I use my car for work I can be in and out several times in a day.
