What kind do you have? Buy it local or online? Comfy? Durability? Price vs. quality?

Thanks! I can't seem to find any pink ones I like, so I may have to compromise and go with black... :goof

Michelle, best place to buy. the corbeau forza is great bang for the buck. you sat in a forza two on the passenger side of my car. Most clubs now require that if you have a harness you must also have a seat with pass thru's. Modification to the factory seat will not be accepted. PCA NOW requires it and all other clubs usually follow PCA.

We stopped in there about a half hour ago and sat in a couple. Stopped at King Motorsports as well, but they only carry Racetech. Figured I would see if anybody have any opinions after spending some time in the seats.

I was hoping you would reply, otherwise you were going to get a PM soon! I know Josh also has the Forza seat in his. Was the one I sat in your car a regular size or wider?

Haha, helps if I look at the site more! I guess the Forza II is the "wider" version of the Forza like Josh has. Josh's was a nice fit, so the original Forza might be the right choice after all.

And free shipping on two seats! Adam said he bought his Corbeau seat for his other BMW from that site as well.

Thanks!!

I bought mine from http://www.arizenracingsports.com/

However I don't have any seat time besides sitting in my garage making race car noises. But they were great to deal with and can do a bunch of custom colors

I have momo club seats in my car. They are lightweight, fit me well, fia and reasonably priced. Got them from a local guy who bought them new and sold his porsche before installing them. If you are into tracking the car I would definetly get something that is fia approved.

I have a corbeau forza for an office chair, it is comfortable enough to sit on my computer for hours!

Just a headsup. look into other cars as well for there stockers. alot of other cars have more race ready seats (STI/EVO/RX8/350Z/Mustang?) you could look at finding something like those from any of those car forums. justa thought.

Michelle,

The passenger seat in my car is the wider one. I believe the Forza 2 is good for 38" to 44" waist. If you want to try them both pm me. My car is in the Franklin business park.

corbeau cr1's..... had them in the can-a-beer...... they are now used as gaming seats in my basement..... until I get some brackets for the Goat.

The DAD seats are pretty nice, and if your looking for Pink seats...... buy red ones, they always fade to pink.
