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 |

But I don't recall all the details, I think I used 4th gen brackets (shorter ?) in my 3rd gen, and no headroom problems here (I'm 6') ~DaVe When we tried 4th gen brackets in a 3rd gen, the Corbeau seats didn't clear the lower seatbelt retractor (which the 4th gens didn't have). Your results may vary, but I know we did try it because I sold my 4th gen seats to the previous owner of my 3rd gen (and then bought the car). AH I think that might be the KEY as my '82 doesn't have lower retractors either ! the plastic door sill plates and lower seat belt mounting is differnet in the '82's somehow ... ~DaVe |

here are my yonaka seats I just ordered from double-d mods on corvette forum. I am currently in the process of fabricating my own brackets for them and so far so good. I've not yet fabricated the brackets for the rear bolts yet, but this is approximately what the seating position will be. I expect the seats will sit around a half inch higher in the back when complete from what these pictures show... which is nothing. I already drove the car with the seats just bolted down in the front (surprisingly sturdy) and I really liked the seating position. Major upgrade from stock, i feel a lot more feedback from the car!
