Well after pondering spending $1200-$2400 on leather and foam on crappy GM seats I decided to pull the trigger on Corbeau A4's in Black leather. I also used the Corbeau brackets on both sides but switched the passenger and driver seat around. If you don't do that the recline lever hits the seat belt cover. I took a picture to show how tight it is even swapped. The lever is easy to get to just a tad tight.
The install was a piece of cake for the passenger side. I added 3 washers in the front bracket where the seat connects to the bracket (not the floor). This gave a little more tilt, about 1/2 inch. The driver side was another story. The install was easy but tearing out the seat control module in the stock seat was a pain in the a$$ The entire wire harness has to come out. If you don't take out the module and harness you will loose the memory mirrors and loose all function of the telescoping wheel. I pulled the harness and module and tie wrapped it under the new seat. I also put 3 washers in the front fo a little more tilt.
The test ride was awesome. I am 5'8" at 205 lbs with a 37" waste. I fit like a glove but I think anymore weight gain and the love handles will be hurting
All in all it is a great mod and the seats hold you in place. No more rocking or sliding around on the crappy stock seats.

 

Looking Great !!! I have the same ones ordered and should be here soon...

 

Looks great.. I like the clear corners a lot too. Great looking vette.

 

Man that is a mod I wanna do sooner rather than later!

Looks good and I hear they save weight over the stockers too!!!

What do those run?

 

Congrats -- seats like that are what the C5 should have had in the first place.

I hope to do this someday (or install C4 seats if they can be fitted -- they also really hold you in, especially the cloth ones).

 

I am jealous. I really need to replace my seats. They are driving me nuts. I really would like to sit in one of these to see how I would fit, though.

 

If you don't mind my asking, how much in total did this run you?

 

$1276.00 out the door

 

$1276.00 out the door

 

How much total? And can you post a pic of the levers? They sit on the inside now?

 

Yes the handles sit on the inside. The total I paid out the door was $1276.00 Here are the pics you requested

 

I really like those seats, and the price isn't too bad when you compare just recovering the stock seats. Love the white coupe. I hate white cars, even though I own two, but that color really suits C5s.

 

Sweet enjoy

 

Looks Good.

 

definitely an improvement. seats would probably be my next upgrade.

 

Looks good. I will have them some day

 

The new seats look great in your car. Congrats.

 

Car looks great and the seats do too....Envy is a terrible thing...

 

Did you buy just the seats or did you get the Corbeau brackets too?
I am considering these seats. I just need to go to the dealer that has them and test the out.

Thanks.

 

Recover for $800 or buy these seats, that is the question.
