Default New Seats

As part of this years preparation I changed to racing seats, again this
is required for the higher speed divisions. I went with Corbeau Forza II
racing seats. I chose these because they were inexpensive, wide enough
for my navigator, were FIA approved (thought that's in question right now),
easy to install, and looked ok. In a couple of years I plan to upgrade to
some Recaros, but for now these will have to do. By the way, I got these
from Dave Lomas at Motorsports in Salt Lake City. They came with mounting
rails for the 928, lumbar support, and slots for a 5 or 6 point harness.









Thanks Dave and Bill and Josh (my son) for helping with the install.

How are they mounted, did you gain any read room?

Erik,

I ordered them with the mounting rails, they bolt up to the stock
seat mounting holes in the floor. They will allow some sliding back
and forth, but there is no recline. I did gain about two inches of
head room.

Ah, I see you went with new seats as well. Forget my comment in the roll cage thread!

Nice! Now I can't wait to see your videos from the higher speed class.

What was the savings vs a comparable Recaro or other??

Hey Mark!

Haven't heard a word about your latest addition.......to the family, not the car!

We now resell for Corbeau and have some seats in the showroom. Drop by and have a sit and tell us all about the young-un.
