Gotelli Speed Shop in South San Francisco (yeah, I know it's a muscle car shop) carries Corbeau's, and you can try before you buy.

Do you want a bucket or reclining ricer seat that weighs more than your stock one?

i heard Sparco has a showroom next to the port of Oakland.

I have a Sparco Corsa i got off CL for $350 MSRP $750 such a nice seat, knee supports make great armrests. 18lb seat. I've driven to San Diego a few times in complete comfort. I'm 6' 185.

There is a Recaro dealer in Berkeley, or at least there used to be one, he had lots in stock, and I think he said 3 days for anything not.

I think this is the place, you can sit in 'em and see what you like, my buddy picked up his here.

Wow, looking at the list of Recaro's on that site I have to say, there are some Funky looking Recaro seats.

I was planning to keep my Recaro SRD's for my next car but I decided to sell them. If anyone is looking for a pair of rare black Recaro SRD's with rails let me know
