Looking at Corbeau Forza, Forza Sport and F1X Pro. They all look pretty similar to me and without being able to sit in all o them the decision is kind of tricky. I've heard overall good things about the Forza.
Anyone running either of these? They are going in a 95 Camaro for Autocross but is also a DD that sees the occasional 2hr one way trip to the in-laws house in Columbus OH from Cincy Oh. Everything else is around town driving. Will be making my own seat brackets. Thanks guys! |

The mount does look differently than the ones we had with our 95 Z28. In order to get a more comfortable seating inclination, I used spacers on the front mounts. That caused the bracket mounts to be not properly-aligned, causing a slight bending force on the mounting bracket. This caused the adjuster to not be properly-placed to lock into place every time. Sometimes, you'd have your foot on the clutch, then >BOOM<, you'd be unable to reach the pedals of wheel because the seat slid all the way back.
Make sure the rack lock engages in the teeth of the adjuster all along the length of the rack so you don't enjoy this surprise like we did. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) Yup...already been there and done that! I put a piece of tape on the center console that lines up with the front of the seat. That way I know where I need it to be roughly and wait for it to click in. No clicky, no starty the car. That way I don't get that lovely surprise when driving etc. Well, Alan once again hit the nail on the head with the factory seatbelt not wanting to "lock" during an abrupt pull on the belt....in fact I can't get it to lock at ANY angle. I reached behind me and tugged down, up straight forward and nothing lol. Maybe I will test it hitting the brakes AND pulling to get the pendulum to swing. |
