Race seats into S13

[LT_Z]

My adjusment failed today on my driver seat (seat falls backward) I am wanting to get a race seat to replace I want something adjustable. What are my options I do want quality and ease of installation would be nice but im willing to work for install. Thanx !

I like Bride or JIC seats. Both are quite pricy though, and you also need to get sliders and rails for your particular application. Sparco makes some nice seats for cheaper than the Brides/JIC's.

I'd suggest Corbeau seats. Not only are they good quality, but they are quite afforable when compared to either Sparco/Momo or Bride. Check this out...

For reclinable seats, check-out either the A4, TRS or CR1. Both the A4 and the TRS sell for $640 for both L/R. Little more for teh CR1.

Actually, I've been thinking of getting a set of the Corbeau Forza-II's myself. I've heard they are actually quite comfertable, specially when compared to other race seats. And they have an awesome contingency program if you legally race, or show your car. Just my $.02 though.Ryan

^^^ My friend has some of the Forza's installed and my rear was definetly happy sitting in them. I'd rather have some reclineable seats, so I'll probably get the TRS's once I get my 240... But for the price, you can't beat Corbeau...

Thats good to know, now the only thing is should i get the Forza's or the Forza-II's. Casue if my arse gets much bigger, im deffinatly gonna need the bigger ones. Probably worth the extra like 20/30 bucks. Ryan

[Cyberkreig]

wanna explain the contingency program?

[TheDrumAndTheBass]

I can't remember the details exactly, but it's explained in detail on the Corbeau website. I'll post the link below for you. All I can remember is it does kick some @$$.

P.S. What can I say? I'm a total post whore, but at least i admit it.

So anyone here actually have/sit in racing seats like that? My concern is that I've heard that they actually put you up HIGHER than the stock seats, and I can't have that. I already hit my head with my helmet on when I'm autocrossing. I'd like a lower seat, but all the sidemount seats are rediculous. Being 6'2" can suck sometimes....

[aj2four0]

i have the same problem. i'm only 6 foot but i hit my head on the roof when i dont' even have a helmet on... if anyone finds a cure let me know :-D

[droptopsilvia]

well i'd have that problem but I have a convetible which gives you a few extra inches of headroom :-D

You can probably fix your own seat by switching the driver's side back with that of the passenger seat. That fixed mine.

Those Corbeau seats look good. And for $640 a pair, it seems like you can hardly go wrong. I've been thinking about getting a Sparco Tourino for my car, but that's almost a grand... for one. Now I dunno which way to go... hmmmmm.

[MainEvent212]

has anyone tried the GTS II or even heard about them? that's more my style, but they dont look like they provide the support i'd like...hmm

Don't get Corbeau seats. It's true they are comfortable, but the quality isn't there IMO. I've seen quite a few rip and wear, do to just sitting in them over minor time, and i've seen them fade due to sun. I would never get them over any sparco seat based on the prices being pretty close to each other. Bride seats are the shizzle and a totally different story.
