Default ::racing seat suggestions::

well i've narrowed it down to 2 choices.
-Corbeau Forza
-Momo T Frame.
both are similar. and im looking for a nice seat
that will hold me in. i've read reviews in SCC and it say the
forza is loose. also im looking for something thats not going
to put me to low when driving im about 6'0 170lbs. 33" waist
i did a search and im just looking for a general
opinion and experiances. and the best value
for the money as well as track/daily driving

Buying a racing seat is like buying a helmet, it is best to try it on before buying it.

That being said, I know the momo t-frame seat is FIA approved, which means that it has been crash tested and approved. It is usually more of a problem getting the seat low enough in the car, not the other way around. The momo t-frame seat is bottom mount only which limits how low it can go. If you need to get lower you will need a "side" mount seat which is ususally more money.

I have 2 Momo T-Frames in my CRX and I'm very happy with them. Especially for 179 each

I am running the momo t-frame and am very happy with it. I am a little over 6' and weigh 165. It fits me very well. It has more padding then the fiberglass shell seats. In my opinion it is much more comfortable. I think it is the best deal for a seat right now.

I have a Momo Rookie and am 6' and around 180 with a 32-33" waist and the seat fits very well.

The Corbeau Forza is also FIA approved.

Seat height when mounted would be my biggest deciding factor, also. I'm not a big guy, but I still like to sit as low as possible in the car.

for bigger drivers, the Corbeau Forza II WILL NOT FIT (this is with their slider bracket) in a CRX without removing the center console and even then its a tight fit, i can supply pix if you would like, there is also no perepherial (sp?) w/ the forza II
