you get what you pay for.
this is especially true for seats.

though i've heard good things about corbeau, i've also heard bad things about them as well...

i can't afford to spend alot on seats, but i will. just a matter of saving my pennies.

It is true you get what you pay for. While many seats look nice, they wear out fast or are extremely uncomfortable. I can't comment on the first link, but they look good, copies of Sparco Torino's and Recaro Style's. I recommend sitting in whatever you buy before you buy them, you may not even fit in them for all you know. Definately get the dimensions at least, and compare.

I can tell you this, STAY AWAY from the Tenzo's. They are butt ugly and EXTREMELY uncomfortable. If you way anything over 150 you will have a hard time squeezing your *** into the seat bottoms and climbing out of them. Really though, anything would be an improvement on the stock seats.
