Big box of awesomeness came today!

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e6...0parts/022.jpg

Finally decided to get some new seats. These are Corbeau LG1's from 3SX. I don't have the car right now, so I'll have to get some picks when I get the car back and get them installed.

I tried sitting in them.... I'm gonna need to drop about 10 lbs or my drive to Indy is going to be uncomfortable. But now I have motivation! :biggrin:

Thanks! I really wanted Recaros, but it's hard to justify $3500 for seats in a car that I hardly ever drive.

You know I'm all about the look Mark, I'll deal with the discomfort if I have to.

I haven't seen any aftermarket power seats, but I'm sure they exist. All the Corbeau seats are manual.

I'm not sure. I'll do a comparison when I swap them, but I can easily see that they're not as bulky as the stockers.

Got them installed and they feel and look great! Sorry guys, no deals on these seats, you'll have to get them from 3SX just like I did! :biggrin:

Here's some pics of the new passenger side with the old stock seat on the drivers side for comparison.

you could have your stockers done up on alcantara for less.

From the pics the new seats look like they match the interior better than the stock ones. Very nice interior BTW, it's in great condition.

Anyone got pics of stockers in alcantara?

The brackets are pretty low to the floor. You'd have a hard time sliding anything thicker than a magazine under the seats.

Great looking seats. They look like they should have come in a stock VR-4. You going to swap out the seatbelts? Were the seat brackets a custom built kit from 3sx or did they bolt right in with the manufacture's set? I can't see wether those are those fixed or sliderthey have sliders?

They look good! Seems to be very good quality!

I never seated in those, but I SO like the comfort of the stock one's (and I drive around 20k miles per year with it) and I always been under the impression that aftermarket are less comfy then stock (maybe I'm wrong ?) so I never took the chance in case I would have less comfort for my DD car! But I really like the idea of the weight saving.

I haven't decided on the seat belts yet, I'll run with the stock 3 point for now and see if I want a harness or not. The brackets are made by Corbeau and they're supposed to be direct bolt ins, but the bolt holes needed some reaming to make them fit right. They are sliding brackets and the seats recline and fold forward like the stock seats.

I haven't taken the car out for a drive yet, but from just sitting in them, they seem just as comfortable as the stock seats. They're just a little snugger at the waist with the side support they have. These seats are not dedicated racing seats, they're more of a touring style seat, and the weight savings isn't as much as I thought. With the brackets installed, the new seats are only about 3 lbs less than stock.
