2-3 hrs cruising, I am a large guy and they are pretty damn comfy.

And that "package" deal MD posted is EXACTLY what you need, I wish they had that when I did mine. Would have been nice.

There again I posted more seats

you just an attention *****..... want everyone to know your seat broke b/c of your massive power yet you add the statement(was not broken by a fat bitch plopping down in the seat) what a nerd
you need to learn some respect, youre not a bad *** and you never will be. when you come over here and deal with a fraction of what we deal with on a daily basis then you can say something about it. until then just keep your mouth shut because you have no idea. and no i dont have the same job as merv but im at the same base.

You talking about how they come with the lower Brackets? How much did you pay for the ones you found?

The ones on Summit are the same part number that are on the Hunsaker site in their list..I wonder if they will work with the Hunsaker Seats..



http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-811068/?rtype=10
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-811069/?rtype=10

For about $160 there is the Brackets new.

Mine dont look like that, mine have flatbar all the way around. And you need that to mount mine with way I mounted them. You will need to mock it up. But the Hunsaker seat rails lined up with the flatbar on mine. Make sense?

I paid $100 for mine off e bay, they were second hand but new. They will come with sliders that you wont use, The Corbeau sliders only lock one side, the Hunsaker both sides, here is a pic.

I guess they are back to selling them seperately, I think LM performance is a sponsor

Too bad a mod can't just delete the bitchfest. Welcome back to the topic!

It seems it's always the mount that makes this a pain in the ***.

Yeah as I stated I drove to PA from FL and then made a return trip a few weeks later. I take a pillow with me that I stuff down in the seat about half way through the trip. Also there really is a company out there that makes seat inserts, I just have no idea who it is, but I have seen them. I'm thinking of going to my local upholstery shop and seeing what they could come up with.


You know what really pisses me off about bitching in car forums? You all have cars, line them up! What is that? Distance is a factor? No both parties go to the track, get video. Issue solved. Its like a fist fight with no broken noses! I love seeing it especially in the regional forums, people really have no excuse to not line them up then.

I have a buddy that road races, I was at the track and saw where a guy drove with his wife in the same car and had seats like yours. He had a foam pad made that fit in that hole, made the seat bottom level for when his wife drove it. Material was matched also, she dropped it in the hole and hopped in the car.

Before spending the money on new seats, pull the stock ones out and check over everything. Something might be just loose and tightening things up will be far less expensive than buying new seats. Why replace what isnt actually broken. Another thing if you really look into new seats, like anything else, you get what you pay for. You buy cheap ones and you could find the stitching come apart quickly or even worse, the frame of the seat actually break if you have an accident. Ive seen this happen numerous times with guys who drift and have a higher speed accident. I wouldnt go cheap with something that is meant to hold you into the car.

Trust me..the seats are bolted in..I don't skimp on that..lol

I can take it and rock the upper half of it..and it's locked into the position on the side. It's been like that since I have had the car..I never really paid attention to it till recently.

Something inside is definately broken.

QFT. Expecting a race seat to perform well in a DD is a little unrealistic and probably uncomfortable. The Scat/Procar and Hunsaker models look pretty nice, but with comfort comes weight. I've personally only seen the Scats at the local speed shop and they looked like quality pieces for the cost.

True, but both make different versions of their seats...my point was that the lighter you go, the less likely they are to be comfortable for DD use.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ory-rails.html
