I like the FX1 better.
Before you buy make sure someone has successfully installed the seats you want into a corvette.
There are a lot of seats out there that won't fit or require modding to fit in the vette. Make sure you are okay with that before going forward.
Make sure they work with your existing seat belts.

Oh yea, and:
- they're bottom mount
- fit perfectly on Corbeau brackets w/o modification
- work with factory seatbelts
- easy to install (took me 45 min for both)
The driving position is much more upright, but that's what I like. They give you a commanding view of the road over the fenders. If you like the real racing driving position, they're great. If you're looking to recline and chill, look for another seat.

I wouldn't waste my time mounting them to the factory sliders. The Corbeau sliders position the seats perfectly.
Lastly, I've had both the Forza and now the FX1 Pro - the FX1 is a fiberglass shell design, which is lighter, sits better, and looks better. Although the Forza is a nice seat, the FX1 is all-round better.
