Race Seats
I'm looking for a seat that fits in a 2006 Z51 coupe. The upper harness strap slots have to be at least 30 in. up from the seat bottom I have had no luck with corbeu. is there a seat out there that fits in the C6 and is for a tall driver.

I have a beautiful Racetech 4009WT (W = wide, T = tall) for sale. I bought it to put in my '07 Z51 put never got around to it. This seat is new and never been used. It was a special order, as Racetech only carries the 4009W. I paid $1450 for it, and will sell it for $1000 shipped to lower 48.
I'm 6' 4 1/2" and the shoulder harness cutouts fit perfectly.
I also have a Hardbar seat rail setup for this seat, also for sale.
PM if interested.
Here's a link to a regular size Racetech 4009 seat: http://www.motorsportimage.com/pc-40...race-seat.aspx
A very comfortable seat.

Hey Rob
No the A4 cut outs are to low. I saw that you were asking about the 18 D-RR Kirkey they look good. What do you think about them?

I have had really great luck with the Sparco Evo series of seats. The Evo and Evo 2 fit very nicely. I have received mixed results from the Evo 2 Plus for fitment. It seems that some have no problems and others have to do some trimming.
Here is the seat dimension guide for Sparco seats:

Corbeau FX1 Pro
I looked at recaro, sparco and Corbeau seats... I took a ton of measurements on so many of these seats because I had to be concerned about my fitting it in with my existing 6pt roll bar. I found almost all the slots for harnesses were about 24" off the top of the seat. I'm a tad over 6'1 and mine line up fine. I dont know where the kirkey slots are but 30" is really high up.
I just took the padded seatbottom out to measure and its now 26 1/2" to the slots.

Um, the Racetech tall seats have appropriately positioned seat belt pass-throughs. The Ractech 4009WT is similar to Kirkey seats except it is made of fiberglass.
