Default Corbeau A4 questions.....

I am going to be purchasing ether some A4's or recovering my stock seats this Christmas as a gift to myself. I really really like the A4's and I'm leaning towards those I just have a few questions for those with them. I am not sure if I want the black leather or the black micro suede. I like the look of both but I am really wondering about durability, I drive my car a lot (about 8k-10k miles a year) so I want something that is going to hold up. Another concern is sun fading, it is a coupe so the roof is off a lot in the warm months. Anyone had these for any period of time with comments would be great, thanks in advance guys and if you got some pics post em up.....

This is a copy from another thread I posted in. I am not doing this to rag on them, they tried to satisfy me with both sets of seats, but it couldnt be resolved and I had to either get a full refund or keep them with no warranty.


Be sure to take advantage of their warranty lol

Im not posting to dis them at all, their customer service(Nash) was awesome in helping me.


My cloths


Nearing a month I found the side bolsters were deformed and they cloth Faded to purple! lol Now this car isnt my DD but my friends started asking why I bought purplish seats lol then I noticed what they meant.





Nash gladly took these back and then I upgraded to leather in hopes for a better seat.

After only Two weeks of use:


So I called Nash and Sadly it was Either me send the seats back for a full refund or I keep them and dont get a warranty anymore :/

Well despite the leather I love the seats!!! So I kept them and delt with it.

They are great seats maybe I just got some bad sets?

Either way I hope this will help you take use of the warranties provided and make sure you get what you paid for

Mine are leather with lumbar support. Great seats. I went with leather because I don't race and leather is so much easier to clean and take care of than cloth or suede. Clean and condition with Lexol and they still look great.

One factor that is nearly always the case, you get what you pay for. Below a certain price point, compromises must be made to make a profit. Don't go cheap on a major purchase like seats. I've done it and I was definitely dissapointed.
