Those are Verrrry nice. Some questions.

How much?
Does it use the stock mounting locations?
Are they too tall?
Comfort?
Lateral support?
Recine?
Material?
Where'd you get them?[IMG]

derrick

--> ~$360/seat (incl. bracket) from a local Socal shop
--> yes, stock mounting locations w/new bracket
--> no, but passenger seat ended up taller than driver
--> for me, yes quite comfortable
--> yes movable and reclinable
--> fabric w/'leather' wear patches

more info on the seat available here:

damn those look nice

wheres the window switches at? i see the coin holders i think and dont see cranks...

derrick

i would say no, not really...

thanks

and no, you can see the window crank just behind the steering wheel above...

gamble302

hmm well if i get some expensive seats im gonig to want more headroom for sure.
maybe my other bro will let me test fit his corbeau forzas from his mustang in my car....

Manntis

Thanks for replying.

Do you have more pics of your pedals? What kind are they?

BadAssRX-7

i think the reason the pass seat is taller is cuz the car... my monaco usa seats are the same way. the pass seat is a good inch higher than the drivers and EVERY body smacks there head... im gonna have to figure out a way to lower that thing. and dont a new set of seats make the car handle better.. i know i could go into turns faster...sence i was glued into the new seats

Manntis

I emailed Corbeau an hour ang and they already responded - a human response, not automated. I'm impressed!

derrick

leaning over and looking through the front window, yes, they are. i was initially blaming the Corbeau passenger bracket, as i also had to drill new holes to move the seat in towards the center of the car as well. But if other people have had the same problem...

and the pedals are levoc, and no, no other pics.

Very nice looking car. Between the seats, pedals, and wheel I bet you can really feel the "in tune" with the car. The only thing I can't figure out is why the door panels are gone but the storage bins are still there.

Where is the reclining control on the drivers seat? Is it on the outside by the door like the stock one is? Stupid question, but I gotta know . And about the brackets...Does Corbeau make the brackets to bolt the seats in, or are they made by another company?

Edit: Nevermind I just checked the online list of seat brackets, and the 79-85 RX-7 is listed $64.25 per bracket, and they are sliders too

derrick

Thanks, and it does make so much of a difference in the feel of the car. i'll have it on track this weekend to really tell how everything works together... And i know, i took the door panels off (will replace with aluminum skins) and removed the panels in the back but haven't taken out the storage bins yet (still mildly useful as it is still both a street and track car), but they'll come out along with the carpeting when it is caged...

and yes, the driver recline control is in the stock location.

Manntis

Just curious - as the door panels are pressed cardboard woth a thin veneer of cloth, what is the advantage to removing them? They're really not that heavy...

derrick

no, they're not that heavy. And as the car is being prepped for Pro7 (maybe 2004 season?) everything will count. But truth is the vinyl top piece had a hole and was duct taped over - and the red, well is just old and faded looking in general...

gamble302

so buy some perfect door panels of of ebay hahahahaha

Manntis

Just so you know, Corbeau quoted me $399 for custom-upholstered A4's to match the ReX interior. I think that's about $79 over regular price?
