Yes it is a daily driver. It has alot better back support than the stock ones do. I havent been able to take a long drive in them which I really dont take long drives anyway but if I had to guess I would think they would be a good seat to be in for long hours. Hope this helps

Thanks. You can get these seats with the capabilities to use a 5 point harness which is only a slot inbetween the legs but I didnt need that. All my driving is in the city and dont do any road racing.

I got $850 for them and I dont think ill add a harness because I dont do any kind of racing other than maybe a trip to the drag strip maybe once a year or so.

Those look great! If the installation is that easy, kind of hard not to want to get new seats! The side support much better too I am guessing?

Nice looking seats! Where did you get them from if you don't mind saying.

Also, does your blowdown tube go through the floorboard?

I am running 5 point harnesses on my Corbeau A4's. I do not have the sub belt slot and they work fine. Only use the harnesses when I am drag racing. For street driving, I still use the factory belt.

Zilla - They are the Corbeau A4's

nevertOOfast - I got them from LM performance and no My blowdown tube doesnt go through the floor, I am going to flair the end and run a line outside the car.

97vetteman - I didnt get to retain any of the power seat controls they are all manual now which doesnt bother me becuase I keep it in the same place anyway but I was about to keep the telescoping steering wheel functions because a friend of mine made a circuit for me and I wired it up so now its doesnt have to opererate off of the factory power seat module

factory Wiring harness:

Its a mess:

New circuit installed:
