Aftermarket seats

[mattfaulkner]

I remember Sport Compact Car magazine once did a seat test where they compared all the seats from Sparco, Recaro, Corbeau, and even APC. The test covered things like comfort, support, weight, etc. Anyway, I remembered that they hated the APC seat for various reasons. Then again, like Scott said, any seat would be an improvement in a VW. The APC seat, though it could be considered a downgrade in a modern car, could be both an inexpensive and nice upgrade in a VW.

eventually i'd like to get the corbeau a4. it's light, narrow, good colors, and with their brackets a bolt in install.

any of you guys consider putting mazda miata seats in? they should make for a great fit, have to do a little fab work for the brackets though.

i haven't looked at other marques seats yet. was just considering the lazy and cheap way out. if i found the right set of seats in good condition though, i would go for it. i really would prefer 911 seats, but not exactly in the same price range that we are talking about in this thread. i take we are really talking low budget options is why APC and such are being discussed. miata seats should be a good cheap find i would think.
