Default Corbeau Forza seats.

Does anyone have any experience with the Corbeau Forza Seats?

I wanted to pick up a pair of them. I kinda realized it was silly to buy a reclinable seat if you can barely recline the stock seats. The Forza seems like a good buy?



I would like to get the black ones tho

I like mine alot, but unfortunately the wear patch on the drivers side did just that.... it's all ripped from me getting in and out, looks like ****

That wear patch problem is a common accurance with those corbeaus when i was researching seats. Everyone says that patch wears out fast.

Looks pretty nice in the car



Yea I figured the seats would wear out there, if you think about it its not like you plop down you kind of need a 'hand' in.

I have the Clubmans, I like them a lot. The wings would be a little uncomfortable for me and I barely fit in the Clubmans, but that's a feature .

I also got the Corbeau brackets for Miata, which I had to modify to fit... i.e. Grind, test, grind, test, grind, test. I also got a snap-off steering wheel system because the extra bolstering on the sport seats make getting in and out a huge ordeal. Come to find, a smaller diameter steering wheel did the trick but having the snap off makes it that much more secure for me.... even though the car is garaged.

Nothing a folded up dish towel can't prevent. Just remove the towel before any hot dates.

Personally i make sure i take a towel with me on hot dates for other reasons. Beats the hell out of wiping off on your seats.

I like the momo starts and he sparco speeds, they're all in the same class it seems. Savington seems to really like his momo starts.

Off topic, but isn't that what panties are for?

i have a pair of forza seats. i like them, they work for me, and the price was right. however, i must say i would probably look into something a bit more narrower if i were to do it again. excessive width causes too much rubbing on door panel.

Has anyone sat in all 3 (speed, start and forza)? Which would be the most comfortable for long distance driving.

the wings hit the door sill, so if you're tall they don't go all the way back

I just installed a pair in a Friends NB. Make sure you have a BFH present if you are using a stock seatbelt setup, the brackets make it a pain in the ***.
