Default Corbeau CR1 Seats

Who has them? Thoughts on them. (would you still buy them now) Best place to get a set, that will work a good package deal. (Seats, Harnesses, Mounts)

I am open to other options as well let me know what you got. Things that I want in them is reclining and comfort.

Thanks for your help/comments.

I had them in one of my past cars, but not in my Jeep. I really liked them but they were very snug on me. I am 6'2 and 230lbs so if you are much bigger I definatly wouldnt suggest.

I've run them, and they are not great. They are snug and comfortable, but they cut corners on quality. Seat fabric and filler are both going to break down in less than 2 years.

If you are on the slightly wider size i'd recommended LG1's. more padding a bit wider.

I bought a set for my 2007 JK. I still have them but in my TJ. They are narrow and the bolster makes it hard to get in the Jeep. I agree about the fabric. Climbing in wears the bolster material out.

No, I would not buy Corbeau again
I've run seats in a half dozen different cars, for racing. Sadly, you get what you pay for.... Recarro or Bride if you are insistent on the real deal. Otherwise, i'd guess baja, based on the number of people that run them.

Wow I guess that they are real deals at $1300+ each. Thanks for the help. I'll have to stay with the Corbeau's. $1100+/- for 2 with mounts I'll have to get some seat covers to help extend the life of the material. Thanks for the help guys.
