Corbeau Forza seats??
Im looking to get new seats. I sold my A4's to my friend and have wanted a lightweight fixed back seat(light one that doesn't break the bank)
My first option was the FX1 Pros, but they are not offered in leather. So I called Corbeau and asked them if they could wrap it in leather for me. Turns out the contour of the FX1 Pro won't allow the leather to stay in place. So they suggested the Forza seat. This seat looks close to a FX1 and it offers vinyl AND is cheaper($230)!! Only problems is its just a tad wide, at 20.5 inches. I think it will still work, but wanted to see if anyone else has done this seat or tried. I have a harness and roll bar. So Ill have the Extra room for not having the OEM seatbelt reels.

Fx1Pro:
If anyone knows other light weight seats (under 19#'s)that are affordable and come in vinyl or leather let me know

I have (almost) the same seat that I purchased from the parts section from someone who had already had it in their car. What happened to me is the (cage) door swing out bar hit that "wing" on the top by where your chest/shoulders would fit into.
I had to modify the seat I could drop and pull out the pin. Suggest fitting your seat in your car before buying. I still have my OEM seat-belt reels.
I did some modifications to that part also
