Default Racing seats

So I've done some research and have seen that people go with the Corbeau A4 seats. Some have complaints and some don't. My question is this, is there a racing seat out there that's identical to the stock seats in terms of fitment? I fit in the seat fairly well but would just like something in cloth and with a little more bolstering. Thanks

I'm saving up for a couple of Sparco Evos. I hear that the Corbeau A4s do not fare well for shorter inseam guys, like myself. The Sparcos have great side bolsters, cloth and they have great options for seat brackets. I'm going with the MTI brackets.

Good luck with your pick.

ive had corbeau micro suede A4's in my car 3 years now. im 6'3 225lbs, 36 waist.. I really like them.. even on 2 hour+ trips no complaints from me or my wife. is there a more comfortable seat, yes.. are they race seats, no. ive done a track day and a auto x with them and they worked great. such a huge improvement from stock seats. hard to beat for the price, and I really didn't want a fixed back seat.
