Default C6. Mostly track car.. Corbeau FX1 Pro Thoughts

Hello fellow members,

I have a C6 that I drive on the street 1 or 2x per month and is used for Autocross and Track Days and am looking for a better seat. I have a harness bar and 6pt harness but looking for a supportive seat that fits, preferably with adjustable side mounts that I can lean back if I choose to. After looking online at various seats, it seems like many seats will not fit. I sat in a Procar by scat and it fit me pretty well but after calling them directly, they told me it will not fit. So, the Corbeau seems like a good choice but I would love to hear from others who have changed seats. As always, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK.

Take care,

Jason

Fx1's are fixed, Is that something your looking for?

Also, How much are you looking to spend?

I had a Corbeau FX1 regular (larger) in my car and now I have a Sparco Evo 2 Plus. I found the Sparco to be much more comfortable than the Corbeau. The Corbeau had no lower back support and will also not recline like mentioned below. This is in a C5 Z06 however.

How tall/big are you?

At that price it would probably be best to just stick with Corbeau. The Forza's are a tight fit, and The FX1 pro may be something youll like as well.
