Default C5 Seats?

Hello everyone. Looking for some advise on replacing my factory seats with aftermarket replacements. Recaro and Corbeau seem to be the top names in the business. Has anyone replaced their seats with either of these brands and can offer some guidance? Not looking for anything for racing. Thanks!

Those are both very good brands. You might also take a look at Cypher. That's what I bought and I'm happy with the seats. no matter what brand you choose, the seat area in a C5 is very narrow and tight. Be sure to check all measurements first.

I just made a 3 part YouTube video on this topic. I opted for the Corbeau EVO X seats.
