Question Questions for those of you with aftermarket seats>>

I'm thinking about getting some Corbeau Forza II seats, I want to know is what do you have? Did it give you more leg room? Any info would be appreciated. I've got a 83 944 and thinking about getting a set of those for the front but also wondering if it may create less leg room or the same. Does the seat sit lower then the factory seats?

Thank you

Much better headroom. I fit now with a helmet on without cracking the sunroof open. You do sit lower.

Mine are on sliders, so leg room is whatever you want.

They are also incredibly light compared to factory seats. Big weight savings.

Hey- Is the Forza II a one-piece racing shell, or does it have an adjustable backrest?

My comments above are for the race seats I have. The two piece seats won't sit as low as a shell. Still a big imoprovement over stock, however.

Yeah the forza II's are one single piece seat. Here's what the black one looks like.

I just installed a Forza for my driver seat and a Forza II for my passenger seat. I also have them on sliders, so leg room is whatever you want (although my rollbar does stop them going to the rear most position, still enough room for me -> 6'1''). Seating position is lower than with the stock seats. The sliders from Corbeau make for an easy installation. However, the mounting holes in the sliders to attach to the floor of the 924/944 are much too big. You'll need to cut some steel plate to act as washers on each of the mounting holes (4 per seat). I wouldn't just use a big washer as I'd be worried about it concaving. Given the thickness of the steel plate, and thickness of the Corbeau mount, I used slightly longer than stock mounting bolts as well.
