Per the title, I'm wondering if anybody here has experience with Corbeau. They have confirmed that they have a bracket that will work for the driver's side (but not the passenger due to the weight sensor) which makes it a plug-and-play option. It would be nice to know for sure how the geometry works out vs. buying on faith!
I looked at EVERY aftermarket seat made. I went and sat in most of them. Those seats are racing seats and very hard. I would say if you are 18 years old and want a hard racing seat go for it. If your 40 something your not going to like them. Thats why I bought and installed volvo 8 way electric heated lumbar seats.
I was thinking of installing the stocks seats from my Supra that is currently under the knife. They bolt in just perfect but then I realized that the side airbags plug directly into the prius seats. I have no idea around this as to whether i just leave them unplugged or if i have to disable them. I'm really kinda scared of leaving them unplugged as I don't really know what would happen the second I turned on the car and I don't really feel like finding out. But I really wanna swap the seats, as i'm in the car 8 hours a day and the stocks seats are really taking a beating on my back. So if you or anyone has and experience swapping to seats with no airbags, the input would be great!
If I weren't so bothered by losing the airbags in the seats, I would totally drop Brides into my Prius. Hell, it would probably take some weight off the car too.
Recaro makes a lot of comfort seats, the other manufactures may too. It's just that almost all the seats that tunning shops will stock for you to try out are probably the racing lines. The comfort lines are a lot more money as well. As for the supra seats have you actually bolted them up to the prius rails to see if they fit? The airbag mod is simple, you just have to find a resistor to put in the plug to trick the sensor into thinking the airbag is there. Some supra seats were made by recaro so they should be quality seats that stand up to years of use which sounds promissing because you can get used ones cheap.
The Recaro Specialist M (if they still make it) seems a good match to Prius. http://www.jdmhub.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=238029&path=2_38_39_10958_85110 One thing is you can't lay back flat in these as it becomes split level when you recline it flat.
