Hi guys!

I am a new member here and I just started to run my car (02 z/28) at some track events. I had a blast at a spectator event last weekend and I am going to be putting some new parts on the camaro. I am wondering if you guys had any suggestions on seats for me. I am trying to keep the cost relatively low and would like reclining seats as I still drive the car on the street quite a bit! Any help is appreciated! I am currently looking at the Corbeau CR1.

Thanks,

Justin

I've got a 97 and I put Corbeau's in it. I absolutely love the seat. They fit me really well. The seat that is, not how they are positioned in the car. The brackets are crap. They are a terrible design and put me way high and reclined too far forward. I shimmed the front of the seats up, which makes them comfortable for me. They are still too high though. For now, I'm just sitting in them without the seat bottom cushion. I'm going to find someone to cut and re-weld the seat bracket to lower the entire seat about an inch and a half.

I can't for the life of me figure out why nobody will put some time and effort into designing a decent seat bracket that slides.
