Default corbeau forza seat owners....

what do you think about your forza seat? I recently picked up one for real cheap and put it in my car. Overall I really like it for the price I paid...$50 used. There is a little bit of usual wear. but nothing major. These seats feel really good while going around corners, but only thing I don't like much is that the back of the seat has really stiff springs that are uncomfortable on my back after riding in it for a few minutes. Do any of you guys have problems with how comfortable the backs are? Maybe its just beceause I'm really bony..who knows.

I love mine, took some getting used to but now it just feels right. It's comfortable for me, even a little too big, I'm 5'11.5", 175 lbs with a 32" waist.

The cover attracts fuzz and dirt and leaves and rodents and doesn't let them go once it's stuck to it. I need to get one of those cat hair rollers.

Pretty much a entry level seat. I liked mine at first, but now I can't stand it. At the time, I didn't have much to compare it to and it was cheap.

I like the way my back fits in the seat. But the only thing I did not like about it is that it has springs at the bottem where your *** drops. At high speeds the springs bounce a little, this confusis me because i dont know if its my seat or iam having problems with the car. $ 50 is a really good price for that seat.

I love mine. I think it is more comfortable than my stock accord seats. I could only stand to ride for 2-3hrs in my stock seats, w/ the Forza I have driven for ~4.5hrs w/ out stopping w/ no back pains what so ever. I didn't even know my seat had springs in it, i've never felt them.

No problems for me. I like it compared to most everything out there that I've tried.

hmmm maybe mine is just worn out in the back and thats why I feel springs. For $50 it couldn't be beat. And it came with the sliders! Only problem is they weren't for my car .

I for sure agree. Personally the seat to me feels made for a larger person. Didn't fit me. I also began unable with the tube steel design.

I upgraded to a sparco corsa and can't believe the difference. At the track it's night and day difference.

You also might want to check out the new FX1. It is $300, which isn't a bad price for a Fiberglass seat. I just purchased a Forza and FX1 for my Subaru.

i have the forza II's in my EK and i like them. MUCH better than the stock seats. they fit me really good, maybe a little too wide and i wear a 36-38 pant size. they can get pretty uncomfortable after long driving though.

for the money though, they really cant be beat. especially if your a bigger guy you really dont have much choice when it comes to "affordable" bucket seats.

The springs in mine are pretty annoying. I've been trying to think of a good way to pad them...

Hehe. OK. The seats look like crap since I've welded above them... I guess I expected to replace them some day and when that day comes I'll probably sell them off for cheap.
