the main thing you gonna remember is that its not a cheap swap. How much you wanna spend will help on which brands to look at. And the only good brackets i've seen are made from SPARCO.

My friends have also had great luck with CORBEAU and the brackets are dead on .

subscribing...i been wanting to do a swap but dont know of all the seats that fit. i kow mattD did corbeau fx1 and they look nice.

I've got Corbeau A4's in my car and I love them. Their brackets (the dual-locking ones) are excellent.

Mine are strictly for street and show at the moment so I can't say much for their feel on a track, but I'd imagine they're very good as their side bolsters are stiff and shapely without being a pain to get in and out of.

Here's a (shameless) pic of my setup. Belts are mocked up in this shot as I still need to order my harness bar for the shoulder straps.

Where did you get the custom engraving on the backrests?

 

[HOLYWD]

Theres a lot of embroidering shops that will do it for like $30 a seat

what are you guys doing about the air bags?

What air bags lol......

mine are both dipped that's why I use the 5 point harness's. I will take a 5 point seat belt to save my life over a air bag any day. I felt safe going 199mph down the 1320 with a set

Just got my Corbeau Fx1 seats today. Same setup as Matt D. Will install them whenever it stops raining.

 

[gt08vapor]

Thanks for all the info.

 

[uniquestang]

is there enough room for door bars with the corbeau fx1's?

 

[Hawgman]

Not to sound like a broken record or anything.. but there are several threads on the forum about replacing your seats with race seats, and what to do with the side impact air bags.

Yeah, normally I don't complain but that wasn't even close.

I am happy with my Kirkey seat set up---but its really for drag race only. I wouldn't recommend this seat someone who could be in the car for a 4 hour drive.

The seat is very comfortable, but I am only in the car max 15-20 minutes also.

Yes my spelling was way off. I just had surgery and the pain killers, well there pretty good.
