Default Corbeau Forza (help please)

About to pull the trigger on some Forza wides ( I have a 38 waist ) probably wont fit in the standard 36. Will it fit in the car? Please advise.

My guess is that you will fit in the standard Forza and it will fit in the car just fine. The wider Forza is going to require you to shim the outboard seat mounts (not rail mounts) if you want the upper seat ears (shoulder supports) to clear the doors and it will be a very tight fit for the car.

I have the Forza regulars in the car but I am a 32-33 inch waist (6ft). I would not recommend them to you unless it is a track car. They sit very upright, non-adjustable, etc. I have a Z06 and the stock seats were lighter than the Forzas. The only heavy thing was the driver side elec motor..... Just my 2.

I sort of agree. I run the FX1 and FX1 Pro and they aren't a seat I would use for a daily driver. However, mine were much lighter that the stock seats and I mounted them on the Corbeau sliders so they are adjustable front and back.

Unfortunately, the specs don't tell the whole story on those seats. I originally installed FX1s and they were way to large. I traded out the driver's seat for an FX1 Pro which is 1 1/2" narrower and it fits me perfectly. My waist size is 36/37" My older spec book on the Corbeaus shows the Forza fitting up to a 36-38" waist with the Forza being only 1" narrower than the FX1.
