Well guys I relaly want to get away from my leather seats(slide to much and all). They are mint not a hole or mark on them, from my 91 coupe(35,000 miles). So Im thinking of sealing them. But I dont know how muc to ask. Remember they are mint!
So Im on ebay looking at the Sparcos and all and realize I dont have 1 grand for seats lol sooo I see the D.A.D. seats. Anyone know how they are or have them?

Thanks Nick

D.A.D is some cheap-O company like the rest of the wannabes...I would just go with some good quality seats..there are seats that you can get 2 for under a grand. I have Corbeau Forza seats...love em, and didn't break the piggy bank.

They look nice and all and good price But they dont recline......which wont bother me at all. But do they keep you in a nice position then?

And these are in an FC right?

Thanks

Yep, I've got blue with the custom brackets(get em..trust me..) and 4point bolt in harnesses. All from sportscar-parts.com

and yes, they are in a nice postion, for me they are, Im 5 11' 160lbs, like a glove, BUT you really can't wear a coat with em, I wear hoodies all the time and its ok tho, just can't be too 'bulky'

Cheers!

get one that reclines... your back will thank u later

I had a forza in my bimmer. It was a nice seat, but the lumbar support really sucks. You can get someone to sew you up a pillow for it or you can get the ready made ones from several places. I also drove my bimmer 90 miles a day to and from work.

Another option is the Cobra Monaco. It's considerably heavier @ 20lbs vs. the forza's 16lbs, but it has a full steel plate running the back and bottom of the seat. The forza is just a fabric cover on a tubular frame.

I have a friend with a pair of the monaco's he's trying to sell, and I'm trying to work something out with him on them now.

Either can be had for less than 475/pr shipped.

Recliners are for slow cars. Honestly, How often to you adjust the back of the seat?

my_jdm_rx7

I drive 2.5hrs home every friday, and back to school every sunday night with my Forza's, no problems yet...them again, like I said...'they work for me'

my_jdm_rx7

I sit in them in a "relaxed" style most of the time, harnesses not 'too' tight, then, when Im hitting the curves, I scoot a notch or two forward and the harnesses PULL you into the seat, give the shoulder straps a tug..and Im set.

For the Forza seat is per seat right? which harness are you using I want the six point ones and did you have to put a roll cage in to install the harnesses?


oh this is for my_jdm_rx7

my_jdm_rx7

Me? Corbeau doesn't MAKE a 6point...3 and 4.
And yea, 220 each, the brackets are like 40ish, dont remember what the harnesses were, and custom 4 point, but my harnesses are bolted in the stock side holes and to the rear hatch floor. I will get you a pic.

get a pic of the seats from different angles if you can too! thanx!

Flyby116

Thanks for all the advice guys. Yea JDM I would love to see a pic. And I really dont need to recline I guess Im about the same weight and all like you. And what do you guys think I can sell my seats for! lol

Thanks

Jimmy325 said something about the Cobra Monaca




Look good to...

Nick

Jimmy325i

Yep, They're essentially the same seat with the difference being the protection/support is increased in the cobra's. I also noticed that the shoulder bolsters are better located on the cobra's, but that could just be for me. I weigh just over 200lbs (with a 34" waist, 43" chest combo) and fit very nicely in both, but I will be buying monaco's for my car based on the comfort factor.

Flyby116

Jimmy I just wish I could sit in them both. Damn this is hard. lol

Nick

my_jdm_rx7

How much are the cobra's?? You don't see too many of those around....you see alot of Corbeau's tho..hum.

If this one did not look so cool i would just get the 4 point or a nive 5 point. But it looks so sweet and is proly safer too. Do you think I could have a roll cage made locally for a couple of hundred and have them custom fit the harnesses for me. Can you show pics of your roll cage too.

Hey dude. DO you have a link for the Cobras. they are only like 30 more a seat. Wait but will they still bolt on or will I have to make a custom bracket or weld them on?

Flyby116

1987 you really wont need that roll cage. But whatever floats your boat. lol

Nick

Flyby116

I would think they all need to be fabricated somewhat. Not sure though.

Nick

Jimmy325i

they make custom brackets for all racing seats. You can also weld up your own adaptor to use the stock sliders. Or, You can make a pedistal in the car that doesn't move and mount it where its comfortable for you. (not recommended)

Sliders are good because you never know when the wife or gf will need to take you to the hospital and having the seat too far back and no way to move it isn't going to work out so great.
