That looks like the Corbeau CR1. I'd sit in one first, or take a look at its measurements. The CR1 is pretty tight in the kidney area, and much more agressive than the ITR seats. I had a set in my Impreza for awhile and, with a 34" waist, they were tight. I got used to it, but the Corbeau TRS is 1" wider and fits me better.

Also keep in mind you will need to get new Corbeau brackets/sliders to mount the seats, they run about $150 a pair.

It's a decent seat, but the fabric isn't the greatest and it will fade fairly quickly.

The fabric is kind of cheap. You really get what you pay for. I would check out the group buy on Recaros in the best buys forum

I doubt you'll find a set of Recaros for cheaper. Rails for the DC2 are only $136 a piece.

Maybe you're better off keeping the stock interior.

I would try and get the chance to sit in a seat before you buy one. I have sat in a Sparco Torino and I really like my SRD alot better

seats are hard to skimp on, its definitely one of those things where you get what you pay for. it might look good on the outside, but what about its internal construction? is the seat gonna fall apart in a hard impact?? I wouldnt mess around with a cheap seat, if you are gonna replace the stock ones, spend the money and get a quality seat.

i thought the courbeuas were good quality. . . well worst to worst i might just get one red sparco tourino for now and bank the rest of the money i made fromt he deal and just roll one seat for now until i decide to get another seat. the only time anyone else is in my car with me is when tuning .
fuggit they can sit on the floor
