Default Installed Procar racing seats, some pics

Bought them from Summit, install was easy, they did initally sit up too high so I grinded off about 1 3/8'' and it looks much better now. A little dissapointed with the weight since each one with all hardware weight around 34 lbs, so I removed about 15 lbs total. But overall I'm happy.

Where did you do the grinding at? 1 3/8" is a pretty good chunk.

at the bottom of the sliders. there's 3 slots and if you bolt it on right out of the box, you can only use the 3rd slot or it will hit the floor board. so i grinded off the 2 slots and bolted it on the 1st slot. took 5 mins

$430 shipped for the seats/sliders/brackets. seats came w/ sliders and you had to buy brackets seperately that are vehicle specific. bolted right in

haha alright, here's some more. sorry can't figure out how to make em bigger. i can get more pics from far away tomorrow if you guys want, let me know







well i switched from stock leather to the all around velour seats. you can order velour, vynil or velour/vinyl, just your preference. i like the firmer seats a little better, but that's just me. with the leather ones, i kinda just sank in and didn't like that. plus these hug you on the sides. great budget racing seats

Those look great! I would love to see them in person. $400+ for everything, to me, seems like a good deal!

Those are some nice seats. I've seen some before in other cars but they look killer in your's too.
