I don't think there is anyway you'll be able to keep all the power adjustments. I'm sure they won't be as comfortable either...but lighter they definatly will be. :)

Where are you located in Missouri?

Yes, you can. The are two options from Corbeau. One is a full manual slider replacement. It's more expensive, only goes forward and back and gives you nearly 5" more legroom:thumbsup:. It's a nice piece. Powercoated as well. The other option is the adapters. They are two flat pieces of powdercoated steel. There are four holes to bolt them to the new seat and 4 holes to bolt them to the stock seat tracks. So yes you can keep the 6 way power slider. The seat will sit up about 1/4-1/2" higher though, due to the adpaters. Your power lumbar and stuff should be in the seat, so that'll be gone. If you are looking for max weight savings, get the manual slider. If you want the 6 way base, get the adapters. You could just make the adaptors. I can get a pic of them attached to the seat so you can see how they are setup.

I got them in a group purchase and I got one slide for around $80 and the adapters were around $20 I think..

Here's a pic of each.. They are kinda blurry..

Adpaters. They are the pieces running left to right. I marked where they bolt to the OE slider.

I have Corbeau CR1's. They are very confortable to me. I like a firm tight fitting seat though. If you are planning on weight savings, as stated above, stick with the manual sliders. The guys are right about leg room. I'm a little over 6 foot and in the far back position I can't engage the clutch. I really like my seats. With Simpson 5-point harnesses it gived the car a real nice sporty look.
