racing seats in 96-04 cars

[Green Goblin]

so in the process of shaving some weight, i'm looking into getting some light fixed back seats. so far i think i'm going with some kirkeys. i'm going kirkey's bc you can always change the set cover and they are 8-20lbs. anybody have picks of these seats in cars. if so, mounting brackets or tracks? pics anybody. thanks

I have a few less things in my car then duff, but here you go, this is the intermediate road race seat, I'm getting another one this weekend for the passenger side.

I need to make a new bracket, so when I take it out I will take a picture of my mount and post it up for you, I modified the sliders so they don't slide any more haha

^ the baddest shifter i've ever seen. i would like the road rac bc they look better, but don't have 400 for 1 seat right now. ima put in the drag 1st then change it out later. found 1 with cover new for 120 a mile from the house. comp orange on sn nice

The mount is custom made. The plate that goes from the mount to the body is Designed by yours truley, just made that so i can make the seat adjustable as needed. Kirkey makes a braket that goes to the floor HOWEVER it will be quite difficuult to mount for the floors of our cars are not level.

you must be short

This isnt a daily driver, im not out to "fat joe" (lean back) and be all hip and cool. I need to be on the wheel, on the shifter and this isnt for comfort.

not to bust your balls duff but, as far as a race seat is concerned yeah you're supposed to be comfortable.. If you're not comfortable, you're not 100% focused on your driving...

100% right. I feel way more comfortable on the steering wheel and close to it then when im back. Im 5'7 with 32" pant so im not super short but im not really tall either. but your 100% right.

 

[RockstarMentality]

you're short to me. I'm 2" taller than you LOL. Seriously though, I need new seats in the Roush, the stock seats even with redrilled brackets to seat it further back is too tight for me. I had corbeau forzas and they had me seated perfect but were very uncomfortable. I'm going with leather wrapped Corbeau A4's.....
