Regular retail is $220. We offer a normal discount to this board, but today only you can buy a Forza seat for $175 plus shipping. Of course seat brackets and sliders are all available as well.....

Don't ask tomorrow, this is Corbeau's monthly special......

Sam,

Is the Forza II included? Aren't you running the same seat in your car? I'm 5'11" and 240 lbs, will I fit in one of those?

Thoughts/input?

Corbeau faxes us a sheet during the day with the "seat of the month" on it. I have no way of knowing what it'll be until I get the sheet.

For the record, I do try and take care of folks on those seats. But, it's getting harder to do. Seems someone on here is complaining to Corbeau about my selling them for a little less than list price. I only posted here yesterday about the sale, and almost immediately got a nasty e-mail from Corbeau about discounting seats, even though they were on sale. Same thing happens time and time again with Predator too. I'll sell it for less (I still make some money, not giving them away), and I get staked to the wall for it.

The Forza sale is over, but call me anyway. I can't post any pricing or I'll have another problem, but we'll see if we can work something out.

Trackbird. I have a Forza2. I'm 6'1", 265 and it fits me. That said I do fit in a Forza as well, but it's snug.

Sam,

In a month or two when i get ready to buy a seat, could i call you on the last day of the month, to see what the sale is? I don't want you to get in trouble for it though.

Sure, give me a ring. I'll post what it is, but probably not the price to avoid the bitching. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That's too bad that people have to screw up a good thing, Sam.

Anyway, thanks for passing on the deal to the customers! Got the seats today and they fit me perfectly at 6'2" 200lbs.

amazing how some ppl can be bitchy about things.
they should at least tell you who is bitching and might as well make it public for bad press... must be some pissed-off competitor.

I don't like it when someone sells something for WAY less than they should. I don't do that with Corbeau, which is what burns my ass.

Everytime I post a Predator for $375, I get FLAMED. Nasty e-mails because I'm breaking Predator's pricing policy. Well, I never signed it because I don't buy them direct so I'm not bound by it. Further when other places give away the farm along with them @ the "list" price of $419, it's no different than what I'm doing. I'm just not tricky about it.

We are in business to make money. You don't do that by selling product at no profit. Most of these outfits try and cut the price and sell on volume. I have to try and compete. Can't always do it, which is why I do the other things like tech-help and hang out on these boards and do much more than put up GP's. Seems I'm damned either way. If I try and compete, I get blasted from the other vendors and suppliers (sometimes). If I don't, it's awfully hard to convince folks you knowledge is worth $50 more. Please bear that in mind when looking for parts suppliers. This list is filled with aware folks, others are not, so anytime you can pass it along is helpful.

Thanks,
Sam
