Default Corbeau Seats?

Anyone know where i can source these from? Looking for the cr-1's specifically...all i have been able to find are usa dealers, and i have a feeling postage for 2 seats from the usa would be stupidly expensive?

Or if anyone knows of a similar looking seat feel free to make some suggestions, bellow is a pic:

Not too sure, if anywhere in perth has these. Try some of the jap shops. I got my seat from VisionR they had a few bride seats there aswell, but im having a hard time finding rails in aus.

What type of car do you have? dont forget the price of rails for your car.

Its an 05 sti, yeh im a bit confused about the rails, apparantly corbeau do make bolt on rails for the 01+ wrx's but they arnt that great quality and make the seats higher than stock.

Would a custom setup be possible in perth/anyone know of people that could do that type of work?

Can i ask why you're putting those in your 05 STi?

STi Recaros, or Bride CF recliners yeah...but IMHO, those Corbeau's are a step sideways.

i just hate the sti seats, like how the blue cloth suits the rest of the interior with the corbeau's - if you can suggest something with a similar style/is available in similar colour ide be keen. Was searching bride/momo/etc websites but the only one i found that was similar had a $1800 per seat asking price!

i have to agree, the more expensive seats fit you better, and i find are made from better material, are safer.

+1 on that...

Whatever you put in...TEST SIT THEM FIRST...don't just buy from a catalogue. A lot of race type seats (including STi Recaros) are very tight & very uncomfortable (if you are anything other than a scrawney build) on even a moderate journey.
I've just put a fixed back Sparco Evo in my car (after test sitting quite a few seats)...excellent support & hold and also very comfortable and OK day to day.
