Anyone want to see Gen6 Seat Mounts/ Base Brackets? (Cobra Seat Retrofit)
I went down to the L.A. area to meet some Camaro6 members, talk cars, do some prep and research work on my future mods...
I had a chance to finally sit in a number of seats and found that not only was the seat I finally chose more supportive than the Misano's but also more COMFORTABLE. COBRA SUZUKA PRO GT https://www.subesports.com/cobra/suz...t-gt/cob-10050 Using the Pro-Fit System you can swap different thicknesses/ and densities of foam, and by getting the GT version for its extra 30 mm width... its easy for me to get out and in... and I can add thicker padding for track days.... I really felt IN the seat rather than ON top of it when I test fitted.... I can't stress how important it is to try and get yourself to a shop that has many different seats so you can see what works best for YOU.... on top of all that... the seats weigh even less than the Misanos, between 17-19lbs Now in order to take advantage of a sale price, I am tempted to buy one before my car is delivered.... I am hoping someone on the forum might spare a few minutes to measure the dimensions of their seat area and compare it to the measurements of this seat. If I can confirm this will fit no problem, I will pull the trigger shortly and will provide my car as a mule to get some Gen6 Camaro seat mounts designed and fabricated for our cars.... I know a shop that is interested in doing this... so the sooner the better for everyone!

I will most likely order straight from the U.K.
Ends up cheaper. Not sure how they come up with $800+ usd for a seat when its only £250-£300. Priced out an OMP WRC. $810USD OR $1050 cdn. I can get it shipped to my door in a few days for just under $800cdn.

the point of concern is the seatbelt anchors... in order to keep the 3 points for street use... I was told I would have to get the runners modified....

So since you are deleting the seat airbags what are you doing about the airbag sensors? Are you going full cage now?

Ordered out of Ireland. Great pricing. And £45 to ship!!
edit: Found shop in Italy that ships for free on orders over 350 EURO. So you can Buy your Sparco at close to actual MSRP. About $350USD instead of the RIP Off fixed pricing by OMP America of $800USD

Recieved the Sparco I ordered out of Ireland. Shipped last Thursday and delivered yesterday. 6 days from across the ocean! Thats faster than buying locally.
Seat cost me $384CDN total. It is $425 USD or $625CDN locally. Saved over $300.
