    racing seats

    im not a ricer

    i just like the feel of racing seats, i have the viper stlye racing seats in my srt-4 and my firebird seats have no support and i dont want leather

    question is, is there anything i need to know, special bracket? height issues?

    Those look like cheap junk.

    Get a quality seat that will be durable and last.

    Corbeau makes great seats and are very reasonable.

        A seat that cost $150 is going to be seriously lacking in quality.... may look good, but probably won't last, won't provide any sort of well-thought-out seating position, and probably won't stand up well in a crash.

        Go for quality, or keep the stockers. Corbeau makes a custom slider bracket for the 4th Gen F-Bodys, so that would be one line of seats to look at.

        To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy..... If you have BOMZ racing seats.......




        ......you might be a ricer.

          This is a pretty nice seat for I think under $200 each. The brackets are about $40. I recommend getting a good seat not one of those ebay opens. Save yourself that Shipping cost and get good seats. Just look for a dealer near you. The MicroSuede is the seat Im planning on getting for my car. Its not to wide like TRS seat but a little wider than the GT7.

            Where are those prices from Con? All the places I have looked the seats have been about $320 each and about $75 per adjustable bracket.

              Damn Sorry about that, Here in So Cal. I have connections with a buddy that owns an Import shop and he hooks it up pretty sick. Go to Pep-Boys, They have some pretty nice seats for cheap and no shipping charges. Call around some Performance shops.
              Maybe look at the Scat Seats From Summit.

              Check the Recycler!

                      my firebird dynoed 250rwhp on a dynojet i ran a 13.934 with 1.997 being my best ever 60ft most of my 60ft were 2.0x fastest mph being 99.70

                      my srt-4 i have not dynoed yet

                      i have never ran my cars aginst each other but i have ran many srt-4s in my firebird and every time

                      my srt-4 ran a 13.9 at 99.27 100% stock on bald stock tires

                      that was at 11 psi i am now running 21 psi with all supporting fuel/intake/exhaust mods

                      friends with similar set-ups dynoed 280-310 with my mods in a 2850 pound car

                      in my srt-4 i have lost only to one LS1 with heads and cam

                      my srt-4 from a roll i am sad to say will smoke most high hp V8 do to the weight. from a dig is a different story but again my friends with similar set-ups run 12.8x on street tires and mid to low 12's on slicks. along with a good driver. the srt-4 would smoke my firebird from any speed im sad to say.

                        Im a big srt-4 fan,I was real close to buying one,but then i got a real good deal on my LT1 bird,2 of my close friends have srt's,very fast,Havent raced any of them,but Im planning to,Ill probaly buy one in a couple years when the price go's down,The only problem I had with them is they get no traction off the line,worse then my bird,My friend has a stage 3 kit from mopar,I was racing my dads wrx,and with the srt I was peeling almost all the way through 2nd gear,1st gear was completly useless,and 2nd was a fight for traction,were my dad did the 5k AWD launch and was gone, later sorry for the thread jacking
