does it matter? what type of racing are you going to be doing that requires it?

 

planing on doing a few open trake days this summer. plus the car is being rebuilt from the ground up. so a new driver seat is in hand.

 

since your just doing track days, it really doesnt matter but neither of those are FIA homologated so they arent legal for racing use.

if your gonna do a bucket, do a real one. one you can use and it accepted the world over as safe.

 

i'm not a cheap *** but i just dont feel like spending $700 on one seat if you know what i meen

I don't think I have sat in a Forza before.. .

What is your body type/description?

I'm 185lbs 6'4" longer legged - mainly just a skiny guy that wears 34"W 36"L pants.. .

 

I like JDM but people go way overboard with it.

japanese seat = 800
italian seat with good name = 400

Id take sparco, momo, and omp over bride, and the like.

 

yet you have dragonball-Z for your display pix. lol

I like my seat from them. Nice and light, solid, decent price.

 

NEW RACETECH 590$ FIA APPROVED

 

People, not my thread, but I'm sure that if you mention the seat that you have and describe your physic, anyone that is looking on at seat reccomendations could better decide what seats they should consider as possible purchases.. .

One seat doesn't fit all, thanks for the help as I am also looking for a couple seats to install in my track car.

Any reccomendations for a seat for passengers would be nice as well.. .

my Bride ZetaII is not FIA homologated but I'm pretty sure its safe isn't it?

you should never go cheap on safety items....i'd rather blow my motor than go cheap on safety equipment.

I'm a little shorter and a little skinnier but I have room in the seat where someone with a wider waist could easily fit comfortably. 34 to 36 sounds like a perfect fit for the forza. If you use the Corbeau bracket it will put you way low, but as tall as you are it should be just right even with a helmet.

Now thats some good news! Cheap EDIT: NOT!!! FIA approved seat that will sit low and serve it's purpose well.

Is that corbeau bracket you're talking about the adjustable or fixed bracket?

If I am not mistaken, the seat comes with the sliders, you just have to buy the bracket to fit your vehicle.

 

sounds like corbeau finally got their FIA cert back?
