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 Corbeau Forza fixed back seats in my car and I use them for autocross and what little daily driving I do. I got the pair of seats, sliders, and mounting brackets (for a C3) for ~$130 two years ago. I 6'3" so I ended up selling the C3 mounts and making my own which put the seat pretty much on the floor. I also agree there isn't much thigh support so I made my brackets to tilt the seat back to allow more headroom and better support for my legs. They're pretty comfy now. Enough so that I've made a 6 hour road trip in them with the only stops being for gas. From a video I made with the camera pointed at me I noticed that either the seats, sliders, or brackets I made are allowing some flexing in the turns. I plan to remove the sliders because they are made from cheap thin gauge metal and I'm the only one that drives the car and i also plan to redo the seat mounts to try and fix the flexing problem. The fabric used on the seats is similar to headliner material and isn't very durable for a daily driver but I didn't expect it to be. Lately I've been having trouble keeping the plastic seatbelt hole trim pieces in place. They keep wanting to separate and fall out. I wish they were a little more durable but I am pleased with what I got for $130.
