Hey,

I have been trying to find some nice aftermarket race seats. Well not true race seats but something that looks nice. Not like the gay sh*t in fast and the furious either.

Anyone know of anything nice?

Thanks:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

while i don't consider the stuff like recaro or sparco gay; what else would you consider?

they do make those same seats in solid colors you know!

maybe you should be more specific..........are you talking about something like jaz seats out of summit or something like viper seats which are a little more comfortable?

 

i would probably get some newer 4th gen leathers.....
ah the day i find 4th gen red leather for cheap will be a good day

 

4thgen ta seats will be your best bet for cost and efficiency.

 

I want something that looks like a corvette seat or something along that line. The things I don't like about those racing seat like sparco are the huge head rest that surrounds 3/4s of your heat with holes for the 5 point seat belt.

I would like to have 5 point belts but I would like a seat that is comfortable and looks goos, in a solid black.

thanks for you help

 

well you could always alter a stock seat to hold 5 points.....

i've seen plenty have shops do it with their 4thgens to keep a stock appearance.

there's always the alternative of installing vette seats in the car as well. i've been thinking about it myself. although the 1,200+ price tag for 2 seats is a little dishearening.

i think the 4thgen ta seats are your real best bet though. reasonably priced and give you great support. although there's many options. good luck.

i dont know, those are in the F&F too!

 

its all about the import style yo, you know you wanna be a hi-rev tuna.

 

Tuna eh? that explains the cans on the exhaust heh

Theres an 82 t/a with the corbeau's in it and damn is it beautiful i think the owner is J'sT/a or J's82 you should check it out

 

that seat looks pretty good.
Does not really look like a f&f thing.

 

I like mine alot.

 

like the fact that is in one color but I would like something alittle more suddle.

looks good though

 

race seats aren't suppose to be subtle....Superman those are excellent!

nice looking for sure

 

yeah but when I see seats with the huge head rests all I think about is Ja rule actinglike he knows something about anything by saying NAS. I just don't want to have that thought running around in my head when I am in my car

 

Those are sweet man!!! How much did those set you back????

 

Superman
Those seats are sweet, what did you have to do to make them fit right? i heard they sit a little to high, did you change or mod anything or just bolt them right in?
nice job either way

 

good point.........taking a second look i can see they look as if they sit up quite a bit higher than stock, how do you deal with that?

 

Superman's seats look freakin awesome!

On a different note, I had the priveledge to go to the SEMA show this year and I must say there's a huge difference in the way different seats feel when you sit in them. My favorites were the Cobra seats. The Corbeau and Sparco aren't quite as secure feeling. DAD seats (I think that's the name) weren't very comfortable at all.

 

You can make your stock brackets work with some of these seats,I modified mine and I feel like I sit lower in it now. The brackets I got with them were to tall for me (I'm 6'4").So this was my best option at the time.worked great.We just made a place for the bolt that I needed.



Look low enough for ya...

Thanks for the complements. As for the seats setting up higher, they are about an inch higher than stock. I don't think this is an issue unless your like 6'4 plus. As scott's85T/A said you can make the stock sliders work, alothough many people have said this he is the only one I have ever seen actually do it.

I got these seat on a group purchase about a year and a half ago. I paid $325 a seat and $45 a peice for the sliders. I think the regular price on these are like $399 and $75 for the sliders.

If you get the sliders that Corbeau sales the seat are a direct bolt in. Uses your factory studs.

:hail: They look sweet too
i really need some of those
*lol*
and yeah they look low enough for me

Yes my seats are now called CR1's. When I got them they were called Carrera's but they changed the name last year some time.

 

Actually I don't like things that look like they are from an Uncle Bens package) I do however like those seats. I only wish they came in another color.

 

Superman. I really like those seats! How comfortable are they??

The seats are very comfortable, even on long trips they don't bother you. You can also get these seats with an inflatable lumbar. I really don't think you need it, but its an option if you want it. The only two issue with these seat are the height they raise you up which is fine I think unless your like 6'4 plus. You could also use the stock sliders like Scott did. The other thing is if you are anykind of a big person like 220 plus get the extra wide option they have. Its like 40 dollars extra but you will need it. I weight 185 and the seats fit me like a glove.
