http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/serv...10509&langId=-1 Summit has nearly identical ones but w/o the seat back release. They're probably junk but some people seemed to like them so I was wondering. |

Gee, I guess it wouldn't be a difficult thing for me to check out for you if needed.

I kind of hoped you'd reply being in Jeg's central and all. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Let me know if they seem decent or not and wide enough for larger guys like you and me. I'm not expecting much but oddly enough they looked decent in a few cars I saw.

I sat in a pair from Summit. If they have cloth get or you will be sliding around all day while autocrossing in the pleather.

Well screw that they're all pleather. I'll just have to pony up for Sparco or Recaro reclining seats eventually. Everytime I've driven an f-body with leather it's been a terrible experience.
The problem for me is finding a reclining seat that is wide enough. Sparco has Evo2's and 3's, but I don't want a fixed back seat since I still like driving on the street. |

Those seats have become pretty popular among a wide variet of car guys, I assume because of price. Can't say I'm not a bit interested in hearing a review.
The side support for the thighs look a little on the low side. It may not be as low as the pics make it look. |

I've decided I'm going to put my Corbeau's up for sale.
They're the CR1, wide version, and shaved. Low miles... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They recline, and flip forward. I need something custom with higher harness slots. Probably a Kirkey, built based on my measurements. |

I'm almost thinking I may be better off buying another manual slider and mounting a Forza II to it. That way I can have a Forza for racing and a recliner for the street.

Cool John. I'm still window shopping right now.
Kevin, go ahead and check out those Jeg's seats sometime. I have 3" lap belts so I think they'd be ok. |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) I can try to take a look at them here soon and get back to you (Rob knows that I pass the Jegs (west) retail store on my way home from work each day and that I used to work there). I'll let you know. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |

Jegs seat will fit a larger guy well. I am 6 ft tall 275 and work out 4 days a week but still a fat @ss with a big chest and hips. Having said all that I wished that I had just saved my money and bought one really good seat. Oh yea the pleather wears fast.
