Default New seats?

I'm considering replacing my
Stockers with something sporty but comfortable. Of the name brands: recaro, sparco, etc... Which is the most popular? Comfortable? Durable? anything worth talking about that I might have missed online? Is price a good reflection of quality? I'm 6' 220lbs and I'd like to have decent room and comfort on long trips.

Where to begin? There are lots of threads discussing C6 seats, like these:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...ead-again.html

My crystal-ball guess is that you'd be better off modifying your existing seat: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...r-comfort.html

Or just spend the $$$ for Caravaggio.

Bottom Line: Finding a replacement seat for street use THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU is not a simple issue, so research thoroughly before you make a decision.
