Default corbeau seat question

I have been looking into a new seat for my DA. I have looked at the Corbeau Forza and the FX1. Does anyone have any info to the durability and comfort or recommendation for these?

I have FX1-pros in my sentra, Its a really comfortable seat and ive driven from va to maine twice with minimal back pain afterward. It does fade fairly easily and the fabric is starting to rip on the side from getting in and out. IMO you cant really beat it for the price though.

EDIT: the corbeau seat mounts are terrible.

i havent had experience with the 2 models you mentioned but ive had 3 corbeau seats which i never knew the model name for.

all three had the same problems that tarzan mentioned.... fade, rip, mounts are crap.

just one of the 3 sets i had, picture was before they got reeeeeeeal bad...you can see how bad the fade is. they started off nice dark black the year before.

I have standard side mounts on my driver seat (no slider) and its extremely solid. But when you use the sliders they move around a lot.
