seat poll

al@absolute · Nov 17, 2006

i have no clue what to use.
i'm 6-3 so they need to be low.
here are the requirements:
-must be under 700$ including mounting in CND funds.
-has to be black
-must be low so my head clears the roof.
put the ideas in the poll.

I picked up some used bucket corbeau's for $350. Paid about $50 in materials to build my own seat bases, and from the pics (at the bottom) you can see that there is lots of room.
I am a shade under 6 feet tall, and have about 5 inches above me when i sit in them upright.
Slouching, you're looking at about 6 or so.
ANd there is a bottom pad on mine that you can remove.
Not as comfy on the cheeks, but adds another 2" to the mix.

Re: seat poll (al@absolute)

If you're planning on using the seats pictured above... do not plan on taking trips more than 30 minutes long. A friend had those in his car and they are not made for driving comfort.... more for autocross or SCCA racing.
Just my 2 cents

The tilt feature on Corrado seats will get you a lot of headroom and they are very supportive and comfortable. If you can't find a black pair in good shape, for the money you've budgeted you can probably afford to buy a set with decent foam and reupholster them (and maybe the rear seat as well).
