Like a lot of people i need my seats recovered after the 900 quote looking into new ideas summit have these seats plus others...Tough to buy something so personal off a website...

 

Has anyone thought to call Katzkins and ask about having them made....

I've been looking at getting those seats also, but i think i'm going to scout around the wrecking yards and see if i can find some i can try out of different cars first before i commit my rear to seats i've never sat in. If you know anybody that welds you can get brackets made to make most any seat fit as long as it's small enough to go in the space to begin with.

I got these for $280 shipped. Much better than the factory Leather Seats. I had to make some custom brackets to bolt the new seats Tracks' to the cars floorboard. The new seat tracks were a few inches narrower than the factory tracks.

Hi Tom,

 

To pattern an interior, we would need an order for 50 vehicles and you would

have to ship the interior to our facility in California to be patterned.

 

Thanks!

i was thinking of buying a corbeau forza seats. but idk anything about them. are fixed seats comfortable?i mean i've sat in a couple but only for 30 mins or so not an hour or so.

i did buy these seats in black but not from the site above. just bought the seat w/o the brackets.

i took the passenger seat off the car to see what has to be done for it to fit. the corbeau seat frame width is about 3 inches shorter then the stock so my friend and i have to make a custom bracket. i'll try to post pics when we're done.

and if anyone local is interested in my 88 stock seats i'm gonna put them up for grabs.

My seats are made by the same company as the ones above and they are great quality for the price, I made my own brackets from some 3/8" flat bar at the local hardware store.

 

I tried the seats in his car, and they are very nice - one of the next things on my list.

my friends and i made some brackets for these seats. sits slightly higher then stock seats but it doesnt bother me too much cause i'm only 5'7-5'8.

the seats feel amazing and holds me well on turns :D even the hour drive from moyock nc to va beach the seats felt great
