Looking to swap out my tan Leather seats in favor of some Corbeau seats. What are your suggestions and the prices? and do you have any pics?
Thanks

I have the targa RS they are the most comfortable for the price. If your a small guy the carraras are nice but I'm too big for them. The A4 are hella tiny I went to a store that had all of them to test sit.
I have pics I'll try and get around to emailing them to you

I have the black Targa RS's, which they now call the TRS.
Picture
My thoughts on them. Pretty comfortable, fits me well. Cloth quality is a pisser. The material on the side bolsters is way too soft and doesn't wear well at all. It also fades pretty easily.
I've actually slightly worn through a couple of spots.
My original plan was to have them recovered in leather anyway; Corbeau's leather option was way too expensive for me to justify it. But I've never came up with the funds for it.
I've had mine for a couple years now. I bought mine before the A4's became sanely prices, and before the CR1's were even released. Both of those have wear patches on them that should help with the wear problem. I'd probably opt for the CR1's if I were to do it all over again; or for price, probably the A4's. Regardless, my Targa RS's get a lot of attention.

4 bolts hold the seat down (get a rachet wrench)
the Pwr steat motor is under the seat, a simple disconnect and it all comes out. you'll see what i mean, very easy.

Do any of you guys no what a pair of stock front Graphite leather seats go for? I have no clue, I searched and didn't find any sold on here recently. If I can sell mine for a decent price, I might get a pair of Corbeaus. Thanks!
