Aftermarket seat, bracket help. Corbeau, Sparco. Taller dudes?
Whats up guys.
Im looking for a wider, lower aftermarket reclinable seat (can't be fixed because im not planning on having a cage in the near future). Im 6'4", 210 lbs, 36" waist.
1. Wanted to hear opinions on Corbeau seats first of all. They have wider versions, like Corbeau A4, and CR1 looking good.
Anyone uses Corbeau seats?
Any pros and cons?
Read somewhere that they are firmer than the rest, anyone can confirm?
2. Anyone uses Sparco Chrono road? Seems like a bigger seat to me, good price too.
3. In terms of brackets (no side mounts with not fixed back): Is there any good universal brackets that bolt up to the floor? I need lower seating position.
Corbeau, Sparco, Recaro brackets - Which one would be the lowest seating position?
4. Anyone ever lowered stock Recaro on any of mentioned above brackets ( not Binary brackets)?
5. Anything on Wedge Engineering brackets?
Any advice is appreciated. Need to hear from some taller guys, what are my options?
Thanks

My best friend has corbeau seats in his jetta, how ever they are fixed. Im 6'3" 210 and they fit great. He is like 6'4" and 245 maybe? (not THAT close to him lol)
Fyi, their wide version seats are very comfortable

most likely I'm eliminating sliders so my knees could clear the wheel

a company called Nagisa makes "super low" seat bracket/sliders. the slider mechanism is on either side of the seat as opposed to taking up room under the seat. So once you get your seat situation figured out, you can buy that, and your seat will pretty much be on the floor. You should have a lot more head room then.

Ended up buying a Corbeau seat bracket, unbolted their sliders, welded on extensions on the back. Worked out good for me. Further back around 1 in, much lower than stock
