Why?

Thats a pretty good seat. Just because it wasnt in F&F dosnt mean it sucks. THere also very comfortable too, aswell as a name brand.

corbeau is a very reputable company that makes good seats. Why pay 1000 a seat for a bride when you can get just as good of a seat from corbeau for 300 a seat.

also don't buy any seats off of ebay.... 90% of them are not real.

I love my corbeau's! I have a buddy with Sparco's. I'd take my CR-1's anyday over those.

I have corbeaus as well, and not saying it just because I have them, but to say they arent name barnd is rediculous. Corbeau has been around just as long as the rest, and has just a good of a name. Just because bride is "JDM YO", doesnt mean it is any better.

I don't have corbeaus ,but I would recommend them...They look sick and for about $1,200 you can get everything. Wide seat (If your a bigger guy like me, brackets and harnesses).

I have corbeau's in my drag car. I have the A1 normals but I agree with Nick06tc get wides especially if you get the A1 cause i'm 120 pounds and they are very tight around me. But corbeau is the most comfortable seat I have ever sat in other than some of the high high dollar recaro's

well 36 isnt a problem, i always thought that getting the smaller seats would be a good way to keep out fat chicks but i dunno about ones w/ big asses
