Default Fixed Back Seats

Who is all running fixed back seats?

Im looking for ones that are comfortable enough that i dont mind cruising in for a few hour.
I also want one that will fit with a 6pt cage.

I was considering the fx1 pros but they dont fit with a cage.
Im not really a fan of the kirkey seats. And im only 5'10".

Im really liking Bride Zetas since Sparco is over priced

Whatcha got? Pics? How easy was install? Does it fit with a cage?

Good post, I'm same height so I'm also curious. I will say that I had a forza and didn't keep it in the a car for an hour. Not comfortable at all to me nor any of my friends..

I know 6LE makes some seats but I don't know if that's what you are looking for or not.

What do you have against Kirkey's with cage?I know its a preference thing but the pro drag's are comfortable and you lose around 40pounds with the pair.. its worth a look.

i might just have to wait until season starts and make friends so i can try some seats out.

i head corbeau pro fx1s are amazing comfort wise and look great style wise but sit high.
a lil modification (and plus im 5 10 and sit low in my seats) i will be able to lower it.

but i think im having a family friend fab my cage... idk we will see

I've got forzas and a Wolfe 6pt. The fitment is tight especially with any adjustability with the sliders, but I modified the passenger bracket to sit about an inch closer to the console, and its a lot better. Still need to modify the drivers bracket. Overall though. Just bolt in and go they work, but the cage makes it a little tight. I love the way they feel though. Favorite mod to date.

i might just have to do that. the fx1 pros are a bit thinner than forzas but i guess the bolster is what gets in the way

Yeah. There are a few quick pictures in my build thread. Links in my sig. Not really any good ones. The garage is a little tight right now. Actually. The forzas are smaller all around than the fx1's.

I'm 5'11" 128lbs. So I'm not a big guy. I love
The way the seats feel Though. They do sit a little high. Well see how far they really do sit once I have a helmet on though. Just sitting in the car a little higher is actually nicer for driving though, the stock seats are so low, and the dash is so high with such a long front end on these cars I like sitting higher.

Yeah. It's black microsuede. I ordered them from a non sponsor vendor for corbeau, and they had them drop shipped from corbeau and on my door step in 5 days. I ordered them Monday at 4:30, and they were on my door step Friday afternoon. Pm me if you want the sponsors info.
