race seats .....

Anyone run the kirkey aluminum seats ? if so , what model ? what brackets did you use to mount the seat ? any issues

 

[psfracer]

I just went with the kirkey 41500, 16" wide. Even though I have a 36" inch waste I fit in it fine. I haven't mounted it yet but I got the bottom brackets and the seat bracket for mounting to the roll bar.

just wondering....are they comfortable? they dont look it lol

 

[psfracer]

They are not too bad at all---but I wouldn't be taking trips to Vegas with these seats thats for sure.

If yours is a daily driver I would look for something else.

 

[srt2stang725]

yeah i wouldnt go with those only because im not making my car a complete drag car, and i dont want to lose my side airbags....If one day i decide to change seats however, i will probably go with some corbeau TRS

If I were going for more of a daily dirver, I would go with these:

which seat is that i like the way it looks im wanting something different for my daily driver other than stock is it adjustable front and back? it looks like the back of seat is not which i dont care about

That's the seat i hope to get within a few months. i plan on selling my whole leather interior seat as a package since i have no need for rear seats and have a rear seat delete in mine right now.

Im running those FX1 pro's in suade... Very comfy and more streetable then the kirky's. They do not recline

 

[racevert]

What do the Courbeaus cost? How much do they weigh? What brackets do you use for them. Those look nice but probably cost much more than Kirkeys aluminum seats.
I am thinking of the Kirkeys because I want to mouint to my rollbar also and the main reason I want aftermarket seats is for weight.

on the Corbeau seat install, was there ant difference in seat height. I'm already 6'-4"

i have some in my car. They are knockoff Sparco's. I replaced my moms seat with a Corbeau. They sit lower in the car.

Im 6'3" and fine, my buddy that co-drives the car sits on a phone book and he is only a couple of inches shorter.

For a daily seat with the Kirkey's and such, if you are looking for that move to the ultrashield rallye or pro seat. They are pretty comfy and if you need a bit more, get some cheap mattress pad to put under the cover.
