    Damn you!

    haha, thanks though, I was going back and forth between the two and that really makes me consider them again...

    I just wish I had a shop around here that I could try helmets and seats and stuff, this area is beat for racing supplies. I'm going to an autox tomorrow, maybe someone will have one of these seats.

      How did you mount yours (both the Forza and FX1 Pro)? Can you use the aluminum side mounts on the FX1 Pro?

      I used Corbeau brackets. Don't know about side mounts. Email Brett @ soloracer.com

      I have one corbeau bracket for sale. $75 shipped.

      Thanks.

        I also used corbeau brackets and wish they had tilt support, going to try and raise the front up a little with some washers .

          Do the sliders come with the seat, so that gray bracket is all you are paying for, for $90 a side?!

          Or does the seat come without that slider?

            Seat doesn't come with anything , slider is part of the bracket. Here is another picture, I went with dual locking sliders .

              So what did both sides cost, with the e30 fitment double locking slider? Looking at apexperformance.net, it looks like $258. That's insane. I'll make my own non sliding, steel brackets for under $40.

                I believe sliders/brackets were about 90 each, the price difference between single and dual locking sliders was additional $6.

                320 per seat, D brackets 95 each. 830 - 10% = 747 for all.

                  Anybody have experience with the Sparco Pro Fighter 2000? I was looking at those and they look pretty good. I will be checking out seats this weekend at a local Auto-X.
