Paging Groovy Jay (seats)
Hey a buddy of mine turned me onto these. Tell me what you think.

I thought the blue one would look cool in a blue Vette but it looks like something a SMURF would sit in.

Re: Paging Groovy Jay (Cali,77,L-82)
Looking good. Are those CR1s? I was looking at the A4s when I was about to make up my mind. Main reason I went for the Sparco's was that my buddy owns a Racing shop and he came up with a very friendly price on th Milano's I have now.
I like the fact that those seats have the tilt forward option which will aloow easy access to the rear compartment. Are you going to put a 4 point harness in there now?
Are you getting the Wide version(40" waist) or the normal one (34"waist)? Either way you should be able to fit those in your already :cool: ride without any hassle.
In the end of the day, I have no experience about Carbeau seats what so ever, but I would presume they are good choice for C3 and they will provide 1000000 times better support and ride comforth when compared to the stock 77 seats. Keep us posted! :yesnod: :cheers:

Yeah I know the asking price of my seats is pretty steep (1289$), but they are top notch quality and I'm always willing to pay for top stuff. About the installation, I got pair of Sparco's universal seat "rails" mounted on a two Stainless Steel 2"x12" pieces which are bolted on stock locations, so no new holes needed to be drilled. The reason I need these SS pieces was that on my floor pan, there is that hole/dent on rear corners pass/drivers side and the Sparco seat mounts were too short to go over this spot. Here's a pic to see what hole I'l talking about:

I was going to go with those when I was upgrading my seats (I ended up putting in C4 seats) but the Corbeau rep I spoke with told me they have tracks that will fit C3 vettes.

Do I need the "I got pair of Sparco's universal seat "rails" mounted on a two Stainless Steel 2"x12" pieces which are bolted on stock locations, so no new holes needed to be drilled." if I do not have the dent in the floor pan. Is it just becuase of your dent? Or are all C3's that way?
