Corbeau FX-1 seat will not fit!!!!!!!HELP!!!!
I just got a FX-1 pro with the mount from Corbeau.
After some drilling on the mount I finally got the seat mounted but it is too high! My head hits the roof and there is NO way I get a helmet on.
If you have one, how did you mount yours?
Please help me out I am leaving for a track event in 2 days and need to get this thing in!!!!

Well, I gave up. Without the sliders it's the right height, but my feet are to far from the pedals.
Stock seat is back in and now I have a airbag light that wont go away. I've never been so agrivated with my car before. Thanks Corbeau!

I just put one in today. The first thing that came to mind was how much higher I was sitting. But I'm only 5'10" and I tried to get a feel for how a helmet would fit. I'll check it out later on today.

I think this was a matter of the OP being a tall guy. I am 5' 10", running Corbeau forza's on Corbeau brackets and there is about 2 inches of clearance between the top of my helmet and the headliner.
So yes, if you're 6 foot or taller and track your car (wearing a helmet), you will need some different mounting solution.

How is your Forza height compaired to the stock seats? Higher, ,lower or about the same? How much clearance do you have to the door panel, with the Corbeau brackets?
I have read some reviews installed in diff. cars and they all seem to say that the Forza's will sit you lower than stock seats, which would be nice or even the same as stock would be fine too. I'm 6 foot.

As far as height, I would say that the forzas on corbeau brackets sit slightly lower then the stock seating. But probably not by much. Its been a couple years since I installed mine, so I am just going by memory of what the stock seats were like.

ha... I see this was bumped. This was the thread that made me DOUBLE CHECK the specs for my brides, so I knew exactly what I was getting and made sure they fit (including the rails). Let this be a lesson to all.
