Which Seats will fit??

[chrisJDM]

ive seen alot of stories of seats not fitting, so which ones will actually fit?? ive looked at alot of the bride seats but what cheaper options do i have???

cheers

Corbeua or Cobra - not all their seat though. Biggest pain in the ass is getting a frame that fits the car AND the seat. That cost me a shocking amount of time and I\'m still not 100% happy.

This is presuming you are after fixed back seats?

[chrisJDM]

well not sure really im open to most options would prefer adjustable but fixed back would be ok, which manufacturers actually make subframes that will fit a fd?? or do you just have to buy universal ones and try and make them fit?

I have got recaro apex fitted to bride low max rails on the drivers side, just waiting for seat rails for the passenger side. rails bolt straight into the car and the seat JUST fits, just misses/brushes the drivers door. i guess it puts me around 1.5-2" lower if that is what you are going for, and a lot more supportive than the standard seats.

[chrisJDM]

just taken a look at those, they look quite nice, if poss i might try and get reclinable, anyone know the dimensions of there seats??

ive found these that i like but i dont expect they will fit

hi mate
I had corbeau sprint`s in my old car but had to make up subframes to get them to fit. mind you I was trying to fit them as low as possible o gain some head room.

Just get your money out and spend it on brides. rhdjapan are doing deal on pairs at the moment and also includes the rails. Make sure you get it marked as a gift tho they are using fedex for delivery on these i think.

[SiH]

Just a warning: the whole \'mark as gift\' thing only works up to a certain limit - IIRC it\'s something crazy low like £35 - apparently \'warranty return\' is where it\'s at

Has anyone got a Sparco Torino on their FD?
I\'ve got one in my loft an an FD soon to be arriving by boat - want to know if i should just sell it now to fund my PFC

We are stockists of Corbeau seats, and remeber an extra 5% off for full members, along with the standard Corbeau subframes, we are in the process of making our own.

Will be posting pictures of all of the seats and their prices tomorrow

Worked on my Brides but they were sent ems. but i do agree totaly doesn\'t always work. Also i think fedex are a bit tighter than parcel force.

Hiya,

We have sold many of the universal Corbeau seat runners for FD\'s along with their seat and these fit FD\'S fine and can be mounted very low,

As you should know we too offer 5% discount through our shop for members who use their discount code, which can be found in the members area.

Here are the runners/

Tried fitting Coreau spring with bride rail into my car before, miles away from fitting in??  Still got door cards, maybe the reason why?

[chrisJDM]

cheers for all the help, i really like the corbeau boss seats.

mazdarotaryparts - have you sold these to a FD owner before and know they fit?? do te universal runners fit ok? do they fit the original bolt holes or do you need to make new ones? how high would they sit?? me and a mate got some corbeau subframes for a 205 and they sat very high, my head touched the roof, in the end we used the standard subframes and bodged it.

AtomicRex - would be very interested if you are making some subframes that will be a good fit and sit low.  Also would be good to see what prices you can do the seats at.

cheers

What ever Corbeau seat you pick will fit an FD as all are within around 5 mm of each other width wise.

The seats are universal and therefor need adapting to any thing you fit them in but as said, for an adjustable seat frame it sits very low and from memory only adds around 30mm to the overall seat ("bum") height.

Corbeau Boss are the damage!!

I\'ve got a set in my Uncle Fester, once your in, you ain\'t coming out again!!
