I have the Corbeau Forza seat w/ rails, the fabric is excellent but the seat hits the door still on the side when the seat is push back. Unless you like riding all the way forward or halfway I think this seat is a tight fit! Soooo im selling it and getting the Bride Zeta III instead.

 

What about Bride Exas III?

 

hey guys i need some help

i'll be getting my car on the track soon, but i'm running into a bit of an issue

my instructor is too large to fit in my Bride Low Max Seats
hes about 6'4" and has like a 40 or 42 waist (he's not fat or anything, just a big dude lol)

is there any seat that you guys could recommend that i can put in the passenger side so that he can fit with his helmet on? with the helmet he's probably about 6'6" or something

any help would be appreciated

Update:

Corbeu fx1 pro fit with no problems but if you have an autopower 6pt roll cage you won't be able to run the front of the cage because the seat sits high and blocks the halo bars .

 

Anybody ever try a 04-06 GTO seat, 98-02 Fbody seat, or a c5 vette seat? Theyre all far more comfortable and seem to be about the same size.

 

Pmed.

does anyone know if the bride digo seats will fit? If so can someone explain what else I will need? I am really lost even after reading

 

well you are requesting the bride digo seat and that is not listed on our list so its up to you to roll the dice. Let us know if the fit.

 

i was going give them a call but would i need a new bracket? or sliders? I am not sure what else I would need with them.

 

what ever you get make sure its the lowest sittig rails or sliders available. Most aftermarket seats sit high. if you are taller than 5'6"good luck

 

anyone heard of cipher racing seats? they are a new company look like thye are good build quality for the price. Heres the note the first couple styles aren't the ones im talking about.

The cool looking seats they have shown are Corbeau UK knockoffs.

 

A GTO seat would be pretty cool in an FD but they are HEAVY. I think its a bit wide though. It might rub against the door/center console.

I wouldnt mind having this seat in the FD, although the GTO stitching in the seat would look out of place in an FD. lol

But yes you are right, they are comfortable.

 

what about any of the veilside seats?

 

Just get the dimensions of the seat you are curious about, and then compare them to one of the seats that does fit and a seat that does not. If you are closer to the one that doesn't fit, there's your answer.

 

we just got finished putting in some buddy club seats they arent fia approved but they are good for those on a budget and on the big side i am 6 feet and 250 lbs and i fit in there nicely they are just bolted to the floor will get pix as soon as i can still using regular seat belts and 5 points no cage

 

pics!

 

True, was just curious as to why they weren't already on the list. Found a few people that got them to fit and few that didn't. Altogether it just seems like a PITA.

 

pic as promised i am a little on the big side so i need the quick release but it has the regular seat belt and the harness and underneath the front cushion it has a slot for leg belts

 

Hello rotaryfreaks ;o)

I am about to buy a very nice set of Recaro seats from a Mitzubishi EVO 9, anyone knows if they will fit ? the seller has messured it to : Width 55 cm (21,65 inches) Length 65 cm (25,60 inches) Height 95 cm (37,40 inches) and I have messured the OEM seats to: 52 cm (20,47 inches) Length 60 cm (23,62 inches) Height 90 cm (35,43 inches) maybe anyone can confirm the OEM messurements ? hope someone can help me, as theese Recaro's are sooooo sweet.

^ you need to make sure the base of the seat is no larger than 20 inches at it's widest point. Also the Shoulder bolsters up top need to be no larger than 21 inches or they'll make nice nasty little indents in your door panels.

 

If you put the stock seats from an EVO into an FD, your head will (probably) literally be through the roof.

The FC, FD, and MR-2 in my experience all have very low stock seats. The EVO and Impreza have so much extra headroom that if you install a racing seat on the floor, the car will look like it's being driven by a child. OTOH, a racing seat with the wrong rails in any of these cars will cause the seat to be HIGHER than the stock seat.

 

Can anyone tell me what the fitment is in the Vios III vs the Gias II?
