The seats retail for $279 each and then its $89 and 4-5 weeks for the fabrication of the brackets for the Z. All together its still cheaper than a Sparco or Bride seat alone. My sponsorship agreement with them states that I must use their harnesses as well, so I am running their 5-Point harnesses, which I was a little leary of at first because I wanted a more established name like Simpson or G-Force, but now that I have driven with them they seem to be put together very well.

how much do the stock seats/sliders weight?Corbeau CR1 Seat = 27 lbs.
Corbeau FX1 Pro Seat = 19 lbs.
Corbeau Bracket = Approx. 5 lbs.
Corbeau 5-Point harnesses = Approx. 3 lbs each
Two Corbeau CR1s (reclineable) with brackets and harnesses = approx. 70 lbs...
One Corbeau FX1 Pro with one bracket and harness = approx. 27 lbs.
70 - 27 = 43 lbs. weight savings!

The tires on the right are the ones I will be running on the rear of my Z. Both tires are 315/30/18, the one on the left is a Michellin Pilot Sport Cup and the one on the right is a Nitto NT01. I don't know why the Nitto is bigger, but I also don't care since it still doesn't rub!
Because I know this question is coming...wheels are an 18" x 9.5" Nismo LMGT4 +30 offset. And yes that is a bit wide for a 9.5" rim, but it still works. This same setup has been run on the track by VRT for quite some time, but with the Sport Cup tire instead of the NT01.

okay, i want to look at them when we get to vegas. you said it takes corbeau 4-6 weeks to make sliders or did you have them made through someone else?
