I can`t say enough about how bad these seats are. Not to mention I need some either S14 or S15 seats. Since I have seen the difference between the seats I really want S15. How can I get some seats and not pay a fortune for them. I have so many more things I want to do to this car. Thanks to NICO I now want some 180 tail lights too! Dam this car is so addictive!!

S14s are comfy, but still not enough side bolstering. I wan really considering some Sparco Pro 2000s or Pros.

Hey Axel, what size guy are you? I'm asking because I'm interested in getting one of those Corbeau Forzas and am wondering if they would be right for a thin guy like me...

Thx! I haven't really checked out the Clubman, but it sounds perfect for me. Just curious, but could I go to a dealer and try out each of the Corbeau seats? I'm not gonna buy a seat that I've never sat in...

what brackets did you use on those seats and how talk are you i really like those seats but im worried cause im 6'2 and a half and i only have like a half inch head clearance with my helmet on at the track. also how far does the seat sit back? as far as it did when you had the stock seats im also leggy.

call the dealer up in advance. most times they don't have the full line sitting there, so i would ask what seats they have in the store before going in.

Yeah, that's what I probably do. The funny thing is, when I went to the Corbeau website and asked for dealer locations, 3 of the 6 places they gave me don't even sell Corbeau seats. Go figure...

And swappedcrx, I'm guessing most people would be using the Corbeau brackets with their seats. (part# driver D960F & pass. D961F - both $78.50 each) Although I'm not sure how high they are. You could use a custom bracket to mount it lower, but the Corbeau brackets would make installation a piece of pie...

the closest place to me is in Newport News, which is a good 6 hour drive from here. I took a trip to richmond which was an hour away, i called them and they didn't keep them in stock, and only special ordered them.
