I searched and there isn't much in the way of aftermarket seats installed in FDs (Sparcos, Recaros, Corbeaus, Bride, etc).

Let's see what's out there, seeing them installed will also give a good idea of what will actually fit

 

Just marking this thread so I can post later. I had just installed my memoryFab carbon fiber seats, and will take pics on Wednesday and post once my raceshop 4-pt bar is installed.

 

I have a Corbeau A4 and this brand is the only that makes a mounting bracket for the FD. But I had to move the seat over towards the tunnel about 1/2" on the bracket to clear the door if the seat back was folded all the way down. The seat belt attachment then rubbed the seat, so I had to modify it also.

 

Ive got Evo7 Recaros in mine... Had 2 fixed bucket recaros but didnt suit....

Il take a pic 2moro!

 

IIRC, Bride now has rails for the FD.

Not my car, but pics of the Corbeau CR1's:

chuck, seats look good. That interior is crying for a steering wheel.....I'll PM you a link you may be interested in

 

Andy,

I just recently spent 2 weeks in Ireland. Saw a yellow FD with 99 rear wing in cork, and also saw a red FD with mazdaspeed wheels in the limerick area. I don't suppose either of them were yours?

 

Nice setups, y03s! How are the Corbeaus?

 

No dude not mine... Yellow 1 is Tom from mad racing and dunno who the red 1 is...

I have a black 1 but im From Meath! Bit away from cork.. But was only down in Limerick on tuesday/wednesday...

 

THat looks good.^^^^^

I have family in WestMeath. About 10miles from Athlone.

 

Wow, car looks great!! What size and offset are the Volks??

 

i got the buddy club racing seat...fits fine with a bride fg rail

ill try take a new pic since my host is down

 

I don't want anyone to even ask how I got these in there. Tenzo R rally buckets.
sorry about the pics, that is my old *** caveman camera. BTW, these are the most
comfortable seats I have ever sat in, stock or aftermarket. they hug like a horny girl.

 

These are my beater CR1's, keeps the wear off my leather seats. I've had them for over a year and love them. The socket wrench is there for reference to show you that there's about 1/3" clearance from hitting the door

 

anyone with some spgs?

 

Recaro profil SPA carbon kevlar

 

I'm still wondering if Sparco Roadster seats fit. No one wanted to answer my post in interior.

 

Do you know their measurements? how wide is the base of the seat, and how wide are the bolsters?

 

Aside from those with rz/spirit r seats, how many were able to use their factory seatbelts (vs harnesses)?

 

If you look at my seats Rich I still have the ability to use the factory seatbelts, that's what I use most of the time since it kinda looks stupid to use the harness while driving on the streets, oh and you barely can move around with the harness...

 

Right, your seats are similar to the rz's in size, shape etc so I'm not surprised that you retain use of the factory seat belts.

I am looking at some Sparco Milanos, and wonder if there is any way to get the factory seatbelts to work with them.

I found jayspec7s site which details the install of the torinos (milanos) into an FD, but he used harnesses.

 

Not my car - Status Suzuka's but I dont know what kind of rails hes using.

 

What is the difference between the Recaro SPA and SPG?

 

Touge Monster:
Do you know whos car that is? I am looking at Status Suzuka's and I am wondering what rails to use. The seats work well if you are around the 200lbs mark.

I cant remember whos car it is but he did post those pix in the 3rd gen section a few months back. Try running a search on Status and he might come up.
