Have you tried them at the track, or know someone who has? I'm looking for track-ready seats, and the price is certainly right.

Wow those are awesome and they still use the power adjustments you say? Of course minus the side bolster but that's what those seats are for. The recline you said is a a wheel? That's the only thing I really never liked or is it a lever like the stockers?

THose look great!! I've been looking at the Corbeau A4's but these look just as nice for almost half as much. Do they support you in corners as good as they look like they would?

With the way you mounted them, would someone taller fit ok. I am between 6'3" and 6'4". How about a thicker waist? I have a 40" waist and am wondering if these would be too tight. Thanks for showing these. They are a nice mod for good money.

If you are talking Dragstrip yes I've been one time since installing them..I don't do any autocross stuff ..The seats are much more fitted to me then the stockers were...

The forward and back of the power rack is hooked up the tilt part I took off...The recline has a wheel on both sides of the seat so it can be mounted on either side of the car..I took the wheels off to give me a little more room to work with mounting them in the small hole GM designed the seats to go in..I use a 1/4" wrench to adjust the backs if needed but my wife and I are pretty tall so both seats never move..

Thanks Tony I appreciate it..I'm still a long way to getting my car looking as good as you guys in the eastern part of the state....

Yes they do..I don't do much fast cornering in this car but the seats are very supportive...

At first they were something to get use to after 114,000 in the stock seats but yest I made the right call on these seats..The only thing I would do different and I may still do it later on is remove them and lower the seats about 2"..When we welded the seat sliders on top of the factory rack it raised the seats almost 1 1/2"..We are going to Talladaga next weekend for the Vette's for Vets deal and I'll decide then if they need to be lowered after that trip...

Look at the above answer..At your height I would lower them no question asked..But your are fine with your waist size becuase I'm right at a 38" and there is still room to grow...
