does anyone know if i could squeeze a corbeau FX-1 or a forza into the driver-side of my FB? if not are there any reasonably priced seats that will wit?

 

probably yes. SA/FB is pretty square, so most seats fit.

 

I am most concerned with the shoulder supports and if they will rub against the door or B pillar. do you have any clue how wide the seat would have to be to make contact? the FX-1 is 23" wide at the shoulder and the forza is 22.5

 

my sparco is 23" wide and its got maybe 1/2" before it would touch the door panel (i don't have a door panel, so i've got 1.5"?)

 

Thanks for the feedback fellas.

 

you may want to consider seat height though, these first gens have a low roof/ high floor build. its a weird car to sit in.

 

The FX-1 is 36" tall with a 71 degree back angle. and the Forza is 33.5" tall with a 72 degree back angle. I know there is a guy on the forums who fit a Kirkey intermediate road race seat into his first gen, and those are 35" tall with a similar angle. do you know about how much room we have (height wise) in our cars?

 

I have a Forza in my SA I bought the seat and bracket from Corbeau it fits great. I also put one in the passenger side but there braket needed a little but of modding to make it fit and the seat sits slightly higher on the passenger side. I run mine with out the seat pad for more head room with my helmet on. BTW I am 6' tall.
