Hi guys!

I've installed a Corbeau Targa RS sport seat and just want to share my
impression.
The Corbreau Targa looks very similar to the Recaro SRD, it has two
harnesses hold, shoulder support and very nice side and lumber suppport,
and of course, it is a reclinable.

The overall finish is excellent, I think it actually comparable to the
Recaros and it has very strong support.  I don't move around in the seat
as with the stock seat anymore, and the seat simply does it job by
holding me tightly.

The installation is easy, took 30 minutes despite the fact that it
didn't come with any installation instructions!   Just take some time to
look at the parts and it all simply make sense.  The bracket from
Corbeau fits perfectly into the stock location, all that is needed are
three bolts, of course, plus the bolts to mount the sliding bracket and
the seat, so, that's a total of 11 bolts, easy enough!

I'm really amazed at the overall quality of the seat and there is only
one small complain that I can think of is that the reclining adjustment
is on the right side, that makes it a little bit harder to adjust.  And
it's EXTREMELY HARD to take the stock seat belt bracket off the stock
seat but mounting it to the new seat bracket is esay.  There are also
location to mount the harnesses on the sides.

The price for the seat is $350 US and the bracket is $69 US, way less
than the Recaros and works very nicely!  It's only available in Black
and Gray though!  Hmm, I'd realy like it in red ... too bad but I can
live with that!=20

Anyway, that's all for my impression of the corbeau seat and if any of
you guys are in the market for seats, I think this one worth a serious
look!  The web site is www.corbeau.com!

Take a look at Corbeau at www.corbeau.com,

I think they have a seat called Forza, cost less than the MOMO and
definitely have more padding than the MOMO ... therefore, I think it should
be more confortable than MOMO, and it has many color to choose from.  The
Clubman is nice too but it doesn't have any shoulder support, I've came
across one when I pick up my Targa RS and the real think looks much better
than the pciture.

My Targa RS seat is excellent, can't complain, and the bracket fits
perfectly without any problem, simple and straight forward.
