Exchanged some emails with Chris of www.racing-seats-USA.com. Here is his latest reply.
"Buddy:
I apologize for the late nature of my reply. I've been out of the office for some National Guard training and am just getting my email caught up.
As you may realize, Corbeau does not condone discounting of their seats as a general rule. That said, we are able to provide a significant discount on the seats we sell by offering free shipping. Few people realize the cost of shipping a pair of seats these days.
There is, however, a possibility of doing something for your organization.
We would not limit it to any particular Corbeau seats--any pair would be fine. However, before I can commit to any sort of discount I would need to have a pretty solid idea of how many seats would be purchased as part of the group discount. I suggest that you go back to your forum and get an initial idea of the number of pairs that might be purchased so that we can create a baseline for the discussion.
Once we have set some goals I will likely ask all of the interested parties to email me individually and we will use that for a more accurate assessment of how many seats might be purchased. I can than issue a coupon code and set a date at which time the offer would end. We would hold all orders until a set date or until a minimum number of orders had been placed, and we would then start processing orders.
If this sounds reasonable to you please write back when you have a pretty solid idea of the interest and we will proceed. Thanks again for writing!

I can attest to the outrageous price of shipping a seat, I believe my Sparco Milano (50ish lbs) from Tulsa to LA was on the order $120ish or so to ship.
