Aftermarket Seats(reclining)

Can anyone recommend some reclining seats with brackets/sliders? Something low would be ideal.

We have a Corbeau in our race car - it's a fixed back, but they do sell reclining back versions and the slider rails to fit an FC. Comfy seats, decent price, and good quality!

Recaros from DC2/DC5R are probably the most popular recliners. Similar aftermarket option would be Recaro SPD.

I like the Corbeau GTS II a lot. They seem like they'll have support and look kind of period correct. Were the rail and sliders one piece from them and do you retain any of the factory brackets?

All I find are the Chinese remakes.

It was a complete replacement rail, designed to just bolt into the same spot.

Did the Corbeau rails sit up higher than stock? I have seen that complaint about some aftermarket rails. I have eyed the A4s for a long time.

Y, I've got a set of brand new Corbeau A4's with the rails that I need to get rid of. I'm 6'2" so the seating height is a little too tall for me. Should work for someone shorter tho.

I have a set of China "sport seats" mounted on the stock FC rails. Recline, full adjustments, and the little flip switch that moves them forward for access to the storage bins. Info here:

Seemed to be about the same height as the stock one - it's not super thick, and has the tabs to mount in the stock locations. I will see if I can remember to take a pic. We never installed ours because we have a flat floor in the race car.
