  • race seats

    Anyone running them. What brand how do they fit? Are they comfortable and can the stock seat belt be kept? Loozing for something that is gonna kill my back or ass on long road trips but stilll offer support and be comfortable.

    If you have pictures that would be great too.

    I have a Kirkey fully enclosed fixed back seat for the driver and a Corbeau A4 for the passenger. Drove it like this to Florida and back. I thought the seat was fairly comfortable after an 11 hour drive, but it definitely needs a bit more cushion on the bottom. There is practically none for your bottom, but a lot more for your thighs. That is a problem that can easily be fixed just by adding more foam. The stock seat mounts don't fit the brackets that you'd have to buy separately, so you'd have to make your own anyway. Getting out is a bit more challenging since the seat is fixed in position. Having a cage and removable steering wheel makes getting out much easier.

    The Corbeau seat is much more comfortable, although I do think the bolsters could be bigger (that might just be me after being spoiled by the Kirkey).That would be my only complaint with it, and the fact that the seat bracket is a PITA to install for the pass. side. Not much room to secure those nuts. The slide for adjustment requires a bit of strength to pull and move the seat. I'm sure the stock belts can be kept with them, but I removed mine. This seat is definitely a step up from stock and it looks great too. Upside is that they sell brackets specific to our cars, so you shouldn't have to modify anything.

    Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.

    For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day, you shall have a track day, a Sabbath of competing, to time the FIREBIRD; whoever does any work on it shall be put in last place.

      The Corbeau A4 looks like a nice seat. Not really wanting to spend $300 a seat.

      I kinda been looking at these. http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product...ned_Pair_.html

      But again you get what you pay for. Is there in place in Michigan that has a store front I could go sit in a couple of seats to see what I like best
