Corbeau seats?

[mdprovee]

I have the GTS II, had the side bolsters shaved down a little, cause I am a little rounder. Jut did a 2 1/2 hour drive in them and no problems.

I have a GTS II for an office chair for 3 plus years and it is still comfortable and has quite a bit of side bolsters. They are very comfortable. They clean up easy and hold up quite well. They are pretty classicly styled and Priced really well. I have 4 corbeau seats in my office and I sell these seats 4 to 1 over any others. Let me know if you need some pricing.

I had the GTS II seats in a 69 Camaro. I thought they were fine when I had them. They do sit up higher than others, if you're tall that can be an issue. On mine I cut and rewelded the brackets to get them as low as possible, and removed the sliders, and my head still almost hit the headliner. I'm pretty tall though.

I've since gone to Recaros and realized immediately how much better they were (of course they're also more money). Plus, I could use unaltered brackets, and the sliders and still had more head clearance than the Corbeaus.

Yep, I have had the GTS IIs also. They feel great, and keep you well planted, but you will want to have a medium to small build to fit in them. Waist sizes greater than say 34 should probably stay away from them....

What if you have a 32-34 waist and a size 46L torso?!

Spend less time in the gym and more time doing 12 ounce curls.

I am 6'4 190. If I order the correct brackets, should I have a problem with height issues? The seats in the car now sit so low so I couldn't imagine having a problem.

My experience is that the corbeau brackets are slightly lower and slide back further than stock. Not a whole lot, but still.

I have the wide version of the CR1's in my '69 and they fit great. I'm 6'"3 and 200 lbs.... the sliders fit perfect and go way farther back than the stock ones. I have plenty of leg room. The standard width would be tight on me.

My only comment... the fabric material is alittle "cheap" and has some sun fading on the upper parts....but for the price, they are a great seat.

I highly recommend you try your best to actually sit in some seats before you buy them....what fits one guy may not feel right to another. I almost bought the TRS version but once I sat in them, I didnt like the bolsters etc. It can be hard to find places to "test sit" stuff but its worth it. ASk some other cars guys in your area..... I asked alot of guys at shows....just be sure you are clean and nothing in the pockets etc...
