Default Arizen racing seats

Checked out a local board sponsor today. Arizen seats is local. Located in Montville CT. I was able to stop by today and check out some of his seats in person. There is a thread asking for opinions in the appearance and detailing section if you want to check it out.

The seats look gread and are comfortable. He is able to make a racing seat that matches the factory leather seats.

Are these more comfortable than the Mad Racing Concepts seats? I wasn't a huge fan of those and I thought they were similar. Maybe Arizen has improved their seats since the old models.

Your probably 1 1/2 hrs away. You can always come sit in a couple in advance if you don't mind the trip.

Here's a picture with the seat belt guides added. We had a small plate welded in the headrest area specifically to allow the installation of a seat belt guide for Camaro, Firebird, Mustang etc. customers.




Anyone within driving distance of Uncasville, CT is welcome to make an appointment with me to visit my home home office where I always keep samples to sit in.

The seat about 32 lbs. By the time it's mounted with sliders and brackets it's about 42 lbs.

Those seats in the post above look beautiful. I bet the owner of that car is very happy he/she spent the money on that investment- the stock camaro seats blow IMHO.

The owner posted on a local forum and so far the reaction is quite positive.

We just made a set in Ebony leather with perforated leather inserts. This adds $50 per seat.
