How do u like these seats? Are they more, same, or less comfortable as the STOCK Z-28 seats, notice i say z-28 seats NOT trans am seats.
thanks

 

Those seats are gorgeous

 

anyone have a pic of them in their ls1?

 

Here you go guys!!

Red Carreras in my 99 ws6 Formula..

The seats are great for those who love twisty a$$ roads. I recommend getting the adjustable lumbar pads to go with them. Black is the best color to get if you are using them daily. I have red and their a b!tch to keep clean.

My wolfe 6 point cage didnt look like it would fit so I ditched it for a 4 point. You might want to consider what you are doing with the car before getting them.


Heres the pics

those look very very nice. thank you!

 

I think I am going to go with the Forza ones they look just as good and are a little cheaper than the others. Just waiting for my favorite sponsor to get them for me some how. Any one have these seats. How comfortable are they?

 

I just put a Forza seat in my car and it looks really nice. Red was my first choice, but I went with the black seat instead since I already had a red harness & roll-bar and I didn't want too much red. It fit just fine with the Wolfe Roll Bar, also. I should have some pics in the next week or so... I'll also hopefully have our new web page up and running next week, with plenty of pics & prices of the seats.

I would highly recommend the forzas as well as the carrerras. They seem to be more suitable for a daily driven car.

I am told that the cage should clear the carreras in a camaro due to the arm rest on the door being thinner and positioned differently

The padding on the back of the Forzas seems to be a bit thicker as well to aid in comfort for street driving.

Any Corbeau seat will be a drastic improvment over the stock seats weight wise as well as in cornering.

 

I assume these seats won't bolt right in, are there any mounting kits available to make them fit?

 

They have mounting hardware availabvle with the seats. They mounts fit riht up with the stock mounts and are a cinch to install.

My friend has a set, they are awesome. Especially for the money, I wish they had them when I got my seats, but they were not available in the US at the time.

 

A friend of mine has Forzas in his Miata and they are extremely uncomfortable. It almost feels like there is a metal bar going across the middle of the back. I wonder if they changed the design. I don't see how anyone can find that seat comfortable.

 

I just bought a ForzaII ( fat boy seat <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> ) and installed it in my '98 Trans AM.

I got the ForzaII, lumbar support and shipping all for just under $300, total.

My impressions on the Forza...

I had a Forza and it was too narrow. I'm 6' and weigh over 250lbs (38" waist). It was quite uncomfortable. the ForzaII gave me another 1 1/2" width in the seat bottom. It's much better. But the side belt guides are unseable.

The stock seat belt shoulder belt mounts to the car such that the angle from it to the seat causes it to ride up the seat and consequently into the side of my head. Not good. I fabricated a "loop" from aluminum tubing, patterned it after the factory loop, flattened an end and mounted it to the seat's side with 2 sheet metal screws. Problem solved.

The lumbar is a must on the Forza design. It's a straight back seat with ZERO support.

The mounting bracket is a **** poor design. It raises the back of the seat almost 2" off of the floor. I built my own and gained 1 1/2" of head room and 3" of leg room. Now, I did not notice this kind of problem with my old Forza. So, I am assuming it is the difference in seats.

Because I made my own bracket, I was able to place the seat where I wanted it in relation to the steering wheel and shifter. I moved the seat about 1" closer to the door and cocked the seat slightly away from the shifter. The position helped my angle of shifter attack tremendously. My arm is nowhere near the seat edge when doing a 1-2 or a 3-4 shift.

Please don't misunderstand. Everything about the seat is just fine. I have no qualms about it other than the mounting bracket. And I believe it's just the difference between the Forza and ForzaII seats.

Here are some pics ...

The first ones are different angles of the mount. And then are a couple with a tape measure so that you can get an idea of where I welded and drilled.

The premise here is to fab 2 bars that run between the seat mounts (front to front and rear to rear), drill holes and mount the slider rails to those 2 bars. Then afix the chassis of the mount to the guide rails.

The tricky part is making sure the guide rails are absolutely parallel.

The difference between this mount and the supplied mount is that Corbeau requires the guide rails to be mounted to the seat then the chassis to the rails. In effect, all we did was move the guide rail inwards to clear the rear seat mounting studs.

What would I do different? I would mount the guide rails as wide as possible for the most stability. As you can see in

www.southernls1.com/pics/Bracket1.jpg

I could've moved the rails out torwards the seat bosses another 1" or so and still would clear the seat mounting studs in the car.

There is also a pic of the shoulder belt loop I fabbed to guide the stock belt.

And finally a pic of the supplied Corbeau Mount. See how it's on stilts?

I used about 6' of 1 1/2" x 1/8" flat stock. The cost was under $5 and took me about 5 or 6 hours from start to paint dry.

And I threw some satin black spray paint on it to keep it from rusting. This winter, I'll strip it it, clean it up and have it powder coated.

Feel free to e-mail me any questions.

 

What's an average weight of these seats mentioned above?? Are they any lighter than a stock Camaro seat?
