Corbeau A4 Seats, Anyone using them? Options

[andys]

Has anyone installed the Corbeau A4 seats in their 914? (Oh no, not another seat thread!!!!!).

I went through a bunch of old posts and somewhere someone mentions them, but it wasn't clear if they actually installed them. The reason I ask, is that they seem to have some favorably narrow dimensions; 18 1/2" wide at the bottom where the Classisc II is 19" Forza is 20" wide. I realize it is reclining and tips forward but othewise seems well suited to the narrow 914 requirements. Short of sitting in them all, it's difficult to tell by the photo's on their site if it has the "butt-bucket" style of seating like say the Forza.

I have corbeau forzas.

The biggest problem I have with the forzas is that they sit too high in the car. I think what needs to happen is that bar needs to be removed under the seat and the seat bolted to the floor - however - I'm reluctant to give up on my forward-backward adjustability. Also - the forza's have you in a bolt-upright position and aren't very comfortable for long drives (I did manage Portland - San Francisco in one shot however).

So: a reclining seat like this I think is a very good idea, but these are taller than the forzas by the looks of it, so you really will have to bolt them to the floor, whcih is going to mean you're going to have to figure out a mounting solution. I'm very interested in solutions to this problem since it is a big problem is my car too - so let me know what happens with it.
