I'm about to get a set of Corbeau seats for my 92 camaro, but don't know which ones to get based on how big I am. I'm 6' 9" 265lbs. I'm looking at the A4 wides and the Legacy Wides. I also have a 10pt cage in the car and would like to retain the stock door bar if I can. Do either of the above seats have provisions for a 5 pt harness?

Help me decide.

 

Come on now. I'm sure a few of you have these seats. Lookin for some opinions.

 

I'm 6'4" 220 lbs and I've got Corbeau CR1's standard width seats in my RS and the inside edge of the seats rubs against the center console. The lid hits the shoulder bolster when you open it as well. Corbeau's brackets make the seats sit 2" higher than stock. I ended up cutting the "feet" off the brackets and welding straight tabs off the corners to lower them to the height of the stockers. If I had t-tops the added height might not be an issue. I know these seats have similar dimensions and features to the ones you are interested in so I figured I'd chime in with my.02.

 

Bro those things are D-lux! Do you mind if I ask what they set you back?


With what ever style seat I decide on, I'm going to use either the OEM tracks or fab up a set of fixed position brackets. Also thanks for the info.

 

wow, those are some nice looking seats Nick!

 

I went with the Legacy Wide in black cloth, which will soon be re-covered with black and grey tweed. Post pics when their done.

 

your cutting it close, i had the narrows/standard and although they were leather it was definately a tight fit with my door bar. hope they work out for you!

 

for some stupid reason the 3rdgen brackets are 2" higher, but their 4thgen bracket is so low its almost stock height.

if you want to get their brackets so it bolts in, order the 4thgen brackets. not the 3rdgen.


btw, i have CR1s... height isnt an issue, but the seatcovers faded and the bolster is wearing fast from me getting in and out.

 

Nice. I wish I would have known that when I bought mine & saved myself a ton of aggrevation!

 

I am having a 12pt cage built around the seats literally. The race shop said I may need to ditch the Door bar. If thats the case then I will and plasma cut that bracket that sticks out of the door panel 1/2" so that I can have a flush door panel, it more than likely will give me more room to play with.

I am not using a conventional seat bracket 3rd/4th gen or other wise. I'm having a fixed position bracket custom made to my height needs. I figure since the car has just been officially made into a two seater with the new cage install, there is no reason to have a seat that slides back and forth. Actually the rear seats are going to be just for decoration.

 

Cage is done and is at the paint shop getting painted. In the end I did have to lose the door bars like Kandied mentioned, but ohh well. It will probably look cleaner that way anyways.

 

I updated my car domain site with new cage pics. Page 6 if anybody is interested.
