I am looking to replace the stock seats in my C5 with something more performance oriented. Preferably as close to bolt-in as possible. I dont mind a fixed back seat for daily use.

I have noticed that many aftermarket seats will not fit in C5's. Any recomendations and pics are welcomed. -Thanks

Arizen makes a pretty good set-up for the C5.

Corbeau FX 1 is a low-dollar alternative.

Best is the one that fits you. Stay away from any leather covered seats.

May want to look at RaceTech or Sparco with a helmet Hallo

Has anyone tried the LG seats? They look nice and functional just haven't heard from anyone who has them. Surely they would fit.

Best advice would be to sit in as many different seats as possible and see what fits your body style. If you can squeeze into them my vote is for the caravaggio race seat. A little on the expensive side, but if you are looking for a true dual purpose seat that allows you to maintain the OEM 3-point seatbelts, all the power seat functions and still be held in place by 6-point harnesses @ track there aren't many other options.

I've probably read every thread on aftermarket seats on this site. Everyone says to try as many seats as you can. But I live in stock car country most race shops around here can't spell Sparco much less know what they are. So I check the mfg website and compare sizes. I am looking at the LG seats along with the Cobra monaco, corbeau fx1, Kirkey/Ultra shield, even the Seibon carbon fiber seats. Has anyone looked at either the LG seat or Seibon seats?

^^^Thanks for the suggestions. I forgot to mention I am on a bit of a budget. Otherwise I would go with Arizen or Carravagio.

I am going to look into the FX1 Pro. Wich Sparco or Racetech seats have you guys specifically used?

Check out the Cobra Monaco also it's same price as FX1 but FIA rated.

Sparco EVO L here, and love them, I never take them out.

Corbeau FX1 Pros If you are over a 34" waist they will feel tight. Under that that feel great

If I may add something. Another important reason for trying seats "on" in person is not only that you fit in them, but that the harness holes are positioned properly for your body, I.E. they aren't too low or too high.

What is your waist size?

I have found that the majority of harness-bars/half-cages/cages do not allow the proper belt angle from the shoulder. I'm 6'4" and need a seat with some high harness holes...but doesn't look like the angle would be safe with most bars.

Which seats have high holes?

Thanks,

RaceTech makes seats for TALL ppl

of Kirky and Ultra-Shield will make custom aluminum seats,

What do you guys think about these ? Sparco R100, around $600 for the set, 26 lbs.

Not for the track. That looks like a folding seat, which is not a good idea.

Stay away from any Leather covered seats for the track. Leather gets hot and slipery.

Use only nomex covered seats.
