Looking for a set of seats for my 04. Ideally I would like them to sit lower then stock and be reclinable. Any ideas?

Anyone have something similar to the stock color scheme?
Absolutely in love with these braum seats. I just wish they would go with my car but this and a charcoal interior might not work out. It they do have other colors. They look similar to the new C7 competition package seats

Ended up going with a set of Corbeau CR1's. Love the bolstering and surprisingly they do not make my back ache on long drives.
I want to do this, I end up sitting in such an uncomfortable angle in my DSG, what was Ford thinking?
I have Corbeau RRX seats in my IRS Mach 1. They are OUTSTANDING. Really supportive and very comfortable. However, if your waist is over 36'', I wouldn't recommend them. I'm a 34'' and they fit me pretty tight.

Totally agree on the waist size. I tried getting a set with wide top and regular bottoms. Corbeau laughed at me.
I'm fine with the wide now because if I had done normal width I wouldn't be able to carry a firearm on my side.
Those braum seats look nice. I want to get a pair for my 03.
I wanted to bump this thread for anyone else with aftermarket seats to chime in. I like the stock seats, but switching them out for something lighter for racing events would be nice.
What do others have?

I got NRG ones from my father as a Christmas gift and I would absolutely recommend that no one gets them. They’re relatively comfortable but even though I bought the ones made for our cars the brackets were not right, the seats are too wide for the car, and the drivers side reclining spring broke so it just slams all the way back so I had to pull it out and weld the seat so it’s now fixed position

Not lighter, but about the best you can get: fully powered Recaro Style, in the Topline version. Not cheap, but not junk, and worth every penny. Had to build harnesses for them, and buy new sliders & bases, but not a huge ordeal.

I'd love to grab a pair of CR1s. Why are the damn brackets always so damn expensive for aftermarket seats though?
$105 on Corbeau's site.
Each.
So that's another $200+ on top of the seats.
They should just include brackets with the seats, and maybe raise price of each seat $75 or so. It would feel like a better deal I think.
Anyone make a cheaper bracket? (obviously safety is #1)
Is this the same bracket, or is it Summits version? Can anyone tell?

I know you mentioned adjustable backs but just chiming in here for a different opinion. During the Black Friday sale at LMR, I picked up a set of the Corbeau FX1’s with a harness bar, 5 points, and double locking brackets. Again, not recline-able, and also not daily driven, but I find the seats to be comfortable and have a good posture position. Back seat is now completely useless, as if it wasn’t already useless before that. Apologies in advance for the terrible picture. 27 lbs per seat with bracket as opposed to 50-60 lbs per each factory seat. Plus, I found the factory seats slightly uncomfortable anyway.
Excellent pick up. The weight savings is a key piece, but the comfort level is the icing on the cake.
I grabbed mine from LMR with either 10 or 15% off. That right there paid for the brackets.
