I just ordered a set of Yonaka's but they are not a direct bolt in. Practically nothing is for f-bodies. Im going to have a project ahead of me! I'll have pictures when i get them.

I have seen a lot of people running kirkey's, so im guessing they can be made to fit more easily. But those look strictly for a drag application which is not my taste at all. I wanna be comfortable for the 20 minute sessions im out on the course!

6Litereater designs sells a few pairs of racing seats and the bracket required to make it a simple bolt in application.

They have cloth, suede, and leather.

I had a set of those for my third gen years ago. I had them in for 2 hours and sold them. They were hard as a rock and sat way too high in the car even with the right brackets.

I want new seats but they are so damn expensive! This will be one of the last things I do.

i am pretty sure those are the same as the yonaka's i ordered. Theyre nice a buddy has them in a 3rd gen but same deal on the installation.

I'll be making my own brackets... I don't need the gold-plated ones everyone seems to be selling

if you want a good riding seat, get a suspension seat..
an off road suspension seat, you will be amazed at the difference a suspension seat makes.

the most comfortable seat i ever sat my *** in was a cobra clubman seat. i like their classic rs seat also..
www.cobra.com

www.prpseats.com

there are alot of small seat builders also, theres a guy on the hokey *** message board (hamb) that makes some of the nicest seats i've ever seen. when i need seats for my 1927 rpu i'll either go with some vintage style cobra seats or his seats.
