Racing Seats...Whats available?

[Mac]

Since these power seats almost gave me a hernia taking them out, is there a lighter option? And no, I don't have an interior, so they can be racy looking and don't have to match anything. I would prefer ones that allow a 4 point harness to be used. Thanks

Corbeau seats and brackets. They mount right into the stock location. Allow you to remove a lot of extra weight. And 4-point harness are available.

Thanks a lot Adam. No, I don't want light-weight racing seats just because I'm weak and yes I just realized that I should've posted this in the interior section...

I was refering to extra weight the power seat adds. I dont know how much but im sure it removes some. It would help you since your planing on tracking your car.

Oh I wasn't talking about what you said. I just reread my first post and it sounded like I wanted racing seats just so it wouldn't be as hard to pick them up.

I like some of those Corbeau seats, but they are all at least $200 a piece without the brackets. If I can't find anything cheaper, these are going to have to wait for awhile.

Yea seats arnt cheap. Sparco's are even more.

I think its funny, Dave's racing seat is still power, just relocated the controls. You need to decide what kind of seat you want. Something with a fixed back is going to give you more support, but be less comfortable. And FWIW, I would go with a 5 point harness, the anti-submarine belt make you feel a little safer.

If you want a real racing seat, stick with either something with a fiberglass frame, or aluminum plate like a Kirkey seat. Some Sparco and Corbeau seats have a steel tube construction that is not very comfortable for long drives, and is not FIA legal any more.

Yes and I could deal with a seat that isn't quite as comfortable. It looks like I'm going with Corbeau.

Good choice

I think you followed Dave to the dyno day we went to at Slingshot motorsports. http://ultrashieldrace.com/prod.php?id=8 This is the seat he is running with the 10 degree layback.

 

[Mac]

Yeah that was me.

There are a million good seats out. You just have to decide how much time you want to spend installing one. Maybe the Corbeau bracket fits other seats?

I like this one.

Not a bad price either. Any one know what the front seats weight for gen 1-2-3?

I have a Kirkey aluminum seat in my drag car. It's basically a flat bucket but it's padded and it holds you in tight.

IAny one know what the front seats weight for gen 1-2-3?

Gen 1 and 2 power seats weigh a tad more than 60lbs each.

I think the frames are filled with lead

I dont know about the Gen 3.

Those Hunsaker seats should work with the corbeau seat brackets. Why not try some of the Euro styled seats from Summit racing for $189 each. Get the Corbeau brackets and call it a day.
