Default Race seats in a 99FRC

I am wondering if anyone has installed racing seats in a C5, or knows of a link where someone else has, or info about what equipment it would take to do this?

I have a Sparco forsale which takes hardbar.net seat brackets.

I have a MOMO T frame stationary seat in my coupe. I fabricated a seat bracket out of aluminum to take full advantage of the weight loss. The stock power motors and tracks are where most of the weight is. I like it.

Corbeau also makes a seat that fits and gives some adjustability as well. Works well for DE events. :cheers:

Which Corbeau seat is this, and did you use the Corbeau rails. I talked to them last month and they said none of their reclining seats would fit with their rails (although others have mounted them on the stock rails). They said the fixed seats w/ Corbeau rails should fit ok, but didn't have any specifices.

I have the A4 and use their rails. It is a reclining seat and the rails are adjustable as well. It is a snug fit to get it in the car, but it will fit. They say you have to remove the factory restraints, but it WILL fit with the seat belts left in. I really like the seat for track events and it is pretty comfortable for street driving. It works with my harness and the factory belts :cool:
