I doubt Corbeau will make brackets for an FD, you need to check the widths very carefully too as the FD needs narrow seats

As far as I am aware you can not get corbeau seats for an RX7, I have them fitted in my Black RX7 but have had to remove door cards to get them in. They are all far to wide. Be very carefull.

its depends on your budget and whether you are looking for bling bling or function, the seats in my rally car cost <£200 brand new for both seats delivered to my door and we welded our own home made mountings on the standard runners.

My company is an official Corbeau dealer, so if it\'s any help pick the seats you want and l will find out the dimensions for you so you know if the style you want fits.

Hope this helps.

I trial fitted my Cobra Imola 2 seat over the weekend. Looks like it\'ll fit in no probs although I\'d probably have to fabricate my own mounts to get it to sit exactly where I want it.  I\'m tempted to just stick with the stock seats and save myself the hassle, but if try to sell my bucket seat I\'m probably going to lose money (which is not fun).....decisions decisions!

Here you go ,

The retro clubman dimensions are as follows:

Base width 47cm
Base Length 52cm
Height 74cm

The come in Black, Blue, Red, or yellow cloth or Black Vinyl.

 They  cost  Â£94.00 including vat per seat.  They do not make frames for the RX7 but a universal frame will cost £58.74 each including vat.

Hope this helps

Does depend v much on budget. I can get Bride seats through one of my distributors, but they are pricey! Or Sparco are good options too.

We have now found out why we had no listing for the subframes you have asked about,
it\'s because they are only available in America.

Sadly Corbeau ( U/K)  will not bring just two frames in if we want them, so it\'s the universal ones l\'m afraid.

so would that mean i would have to drill extra holes to fit the seats?
