MY T2 is now Corbeau clubman seat equipped!

Just thought I'd share. No pictures tho. The seat is nice and comfy, and the seat rail is well made. HOWEVER! I had to slot the holes on the brackets a little to get them to line up so I could bolt them to the car. Also, I'm not very tall (5 foot 7), and I can't confortably press my clutch with the seat even in the forwardmost position! I had to get a set of ricer pedal covers. Just for the clutch pedal. Ohwell. The seating position is super low, it's pretty cool, I have plenty of helmet room now (was a problem before even at my height) Roll bar and harness are on the way! hehe

you are using the corbeau FC rails? I think they are the only company that makes them LOL. I might look into getting a seat now. my thin *** driver side bolster finaly gave away this week and has a nice 4" tear in it

I just put in Forza's a couple weeks ago, they look and feel great. I have the harnesses too but didn't have enough time to put them in, hopefully I can get to it this week. And yes, those brackets SUCK, I chose the prybar method for the passenger side...the driver's side went in with minimal effort though the brackets shouldn't need any tweaking in my opinion. Sparco makes brackets for the FC as well but the Corbeau's were a little cheaper than Sparco's Sprint seat and I believe the forza's are a little larger. I wonder if the Sparco brackets fit

Could a guy that's 6'3(me), fit in a Corbeau with the rails it comes with or is there a better option?

Yeah you probably could. The seat is WAY LOW, and even in the frontmost slider position I have trouble reaching my pedals comfortably as mentioned above...
