Might be easier to find, but cost isn't too much cheaper.

I find coupe seats to be rare in good condition. Plus it seems for every sedan owner that has coupe seats, it seems like there is a sedan owner with racing seats. Most people just end up giving up on the search for coupe seats.

^Yep... plus you get douches that think their worn-bolster used coupe seats are worth nearly as much as brand new aftermarket seats.
You're actually better watching CL and junkyards than this site, unfortunately.

Maybe one day people in the marketplace will remember that used car parts don't gain value.

Correct. Sparco 350Z Brackets. Not sure if they make a G35 specific one..

Only issue as a couple guys have mentioned is that it sits VERY low since it's for the Z

I searched Craigslist everyday for "RECARO" until I found my seat.

try www.crazedlist.org for better/faster results.

Recaro just the seat.
I've always wanted to score a set of 04-07 S4 seats (just like the ones I have but with leather/alcantara, power adjustment, heated) hoping that I can make it work...

You can always have custom or modified mounting brackets made, anything is possible.

They do make G specific brackets but the Z ones fit. I have a Z one for my driver's side and G for the passenger.

I have a spare sparco driver's side bracket for sale if anyone wants it. $40 plus shipping.

My Corbeau's had no plug of any kind. Airbags light came on. I guess when the airbag light comes on the airbags don't work. other people say that they do.
I did the airbag bypass for the passenger and now I have no light but airbags do work.

But Sparco has some seats that look alright for around $250 before rails and I have a local sparco dealer so I'm going to a get a quote on those. I've also email corbeau about they're A4 seat which also looks pretty nice and comes in microsuede
