I want people's opinions of how these ride. Keep you in your seat i assume... but how well?

I'm going to be running two of these babies w/ the 3 pt. harness single buckle from corbeau as well.

BTW, my stats are:
5'6
140lbs
28-32 waist
cold air intake (no just kidding)

What are your sentiments? Am i wasting my money? Spending it wisely?

Thnx in advance

Geoff

If you like the stock GSL-SE seats, but they need re-upholstering, you should visit some automotive/boat upholstery shops in the Pullman or Spokane or Lewiston areas, and take a look at the quality of the work they are doing. Their prices might pleasantly surprise you.

Get 'em. Racing seats are a great investment (although I still don't have mine ). Chicks dig 'em and they'll keep you planted. And if you're worried about whether you can still make a long road trip, bring along a pillow and let the worries slip away

They will be black, i've got a grey interior.

I'm going for the whole black/grey/silver for the interior. Its turning out REAL sweet so far.

I'll post pics when i'm all done.

Peace

BTW, the fabric on Corbeaus SUCKS. After like 4 months, they will start to get thin and fade and tear on the major wear spots. I've seen it on other's cars. I'd look into some Sparcos or Recaros if you can save a little more.

OK, thanks for the heads up driftin jim.

This is the info i need.

Looks like i'm going to be saving up a bit longer than anticipated, this is going to be a winter project.

I'll start looking into sparco's or recaro's.

Peace
Geoff
