Default New seats?

Are the aftermarket seats, corbeau and others worth the money, as far as comfort goes is there a "seat of the pants", or night and day difference? Would i be better to "re-foam" my seats (''99 coupe, 90k) i am considering buying a set of corbeau a4 for my car, looking for some real world experience/advice. Thanks in advance for any and all opinions - mark

The only advice I can give, and honestly that I think anyone can really give, is to find someone in your area with these seats and ask if you can sit down in them. Make a post in the regional section for your area and see if anyone's willing to let you test them out.
