Question What you guys think about Corbeau seats?

I am looking at the non-adj ones, FX1-Pro to be exact.
Those have fiberglass construction (better than tubular steel), quite light and looks to fit my waist size fairly well (30-34ish, im a size 30 waist lol very unamerican indeed)
Anyone have Corbeau seats or have experience with them?

I think they suck. I sat in them at SEMA and didnt personally like how they felt. They look good though. NEVER buy seats without sitting in them first....

i've own corbeau before. they're not that bad. you get like two seats for the price of one recaro.. depends on your budget. i thought the non adjustable forza was great. cheap too.

Yeah i think the Forza is tubular steel construction
I read an article that during a crash, tubular steel seats arent take the force very well and it can hurt the human internal organs...
Fiberglass construction is a bit better than the tubular steel and its not as expensive as the better carbon kevlar ones...
From the article the best seat construction is aluminium because they conform to the body during a crash...
mmm...
But considering i am poor college kid corbeau can spice up the car's looks and provide more support in spirited motoring or racing
