Corbeau FX1 Seats

Hi All -
I found a Corbeau FX1 seat for sale here locally that is literally brand new for a very good deal.

In my quest to sit as low as possible in my car, I was thinking of giving this a try using side mounts.

Does anyone have any experience with these seats?

Thanks -
Scott S

Corbeau Seats

I have a different model set of seats in my SC. The only thing I don't like is that it is not very comfortable driving with a wallet in a hip pocket. Other than that, they are nice lightweight and supportive seats.

Corbeau seats should come with a sizing chart.

I found the EVO to be painfully narrow but the EVOII is perfect for me.

As for sitting low in the car. With a little creativity you can bolt the side mounts directly to the floor rails and get rid of the sliders altogether. This will lower the seat approx 1.5"
