I feel like cloth would hold you better but what do u guys think about the leather? Which do u think would hold up better?is leather worth the extra?

They look good! I sat in some cloth seats the other day. I like the way they feel.. Just undecided on cloth or leather. How do they fit in the car with the door closed?

Corbeau A4's standard width, red cloth. Took less than an hr to install, and was as simple as unbolting/unplugging the factory seats and bolting these down. Maintained full functionality of everything, no DTC's no warning lights in the dash. boom-







02 Corvette z06, 64k miles, stock.
They look great. I'm hoping that my 6 point harness set up with the Brey-Krauss bar for track and the stock 3 point belt for street duty work.

They have an option sub-hole for 5/6pt race belts

Its not a myth. I sat in a guys C5 vert locally in Dallas (Torch Red Tim) that had the Corbeau's mounted on stock tracks. Unfortunately it rose the seat base a couple inches, and I could only sit in his seat when his vert top was down. He was short enough that it was not an issue for him. I'm 6ft, and it would not have worked for me. I'm not sure how he got it to mount on the stock tracks.

Very cool! That is what I thought about the clearance. Clearance for taller guys even on supplied bases can be limited, especially with a helmet. Good to have a place to point shorter guys who are interested in this option!

Thanks man. I wanted to get something that looked CRAZY . and red was the way to go for me. While people have posted negative things about the quality of Corbeau leather, I have heard things on both sides of the fence; comments like "shame on corvette for putting such cheap quality leather in their factory seats, these are so much better, blah blah blah." I have no word on it, personally.
