I was going to put the Corbeau LG1s in, as I didn't find the A4s comfortable. I chose the Arizen seats for the fact that it could work with the power tracks, is very lightweight (I think Mark from Arizen said it was ~15 lbs), and has the raised harness belt holes. It even has a third hole on the bottom. I have never seen anyone install an LG1 yet, and wasn't going to take a chance.

I don't know why they turn up purple in the pictures, but they are black.



I have 1 pair of these left for anyone interested. A picture of the seat itself is below.

Mark, is there any way to have that last set redone in black leather? I would absolutely take them if they were leather.

Thanks, Greg

I also have a few sets with black FRP shells in red, yellow or blue. I can sell them for $499 including the brackets for mounting to the o/e power or manual tracks.

Any seat in red, yellow or blue purchased this month will also receive free shipping. So you will get the seat and bracket for mounting to the o/e tracks DELIVERED for $499.

The last set of black seats with carbon fiber shells would be $699 delivered.

What wasn't comfortable about the Corbeau A4?

Also I didn't think the Corbeau LG1's fit our cars?

It felt like they were squeezing my kidneys. I could not sit in them for long at my local shop. I was told by a corbeau seat reseller that the lg1s would fit. They were told this by corbeau. I've never seen them in a c5 and wasn't going to be the guinea pig.

Looks like the A4's might not be the seat for me then. I can't sit in seats that do a kidney squeeze either.

The LG1 dimensions are 1" wider in the seat bottom than the A4's, and from the pictures I've seen there isn't any room left with the A4's.

Anyway, thanks for the information. I was going to just "go for it" with the A4's but you probably saved me a lot of trouble!

I like your seats, btw!

The last pair of these seats can be split up. You can buy only one if needed. If one seat is ordered I will do my best to update the link below ASAP to state there is only one seat remaining.

I like the seats, but unless you're a shorty, you have to pay an extra $300 per seat, and even then lose your electronic memory, and adjustability. Is the lumbar area inflateable? It looked a bit unsupportive.

If you want to keep your power tracks and not sit any higher than the stock seat a better option is in the works. We are having a modified frame made that will allow us to bolt the back of our ST2 seat directly to the C5 and C6 stock bottom. It has deeper bolsters and harness cutouts, although the harness cutout design may change at a later date.
