Reviews Corbeau Seats (A4,FX1,Forza)

CJBinder · 07-08-2016, 10:27 PM

I hate the stock seats cuz I am sliding all over the place or it feels like it so I am going to buy one of the seats above. A4 reclines but seems to have less bolster. Forza has high kidney bolster and ability to add lumbar support(my back sucks). FX1 is even more bucket but no lumbar.

Would like your opinion if you have rode in a 370z with these seats or have driven using the seats. Much appreciated everyone.

P.S. I am 6'1" 38 waist, so I would be getting the wide versions or normal FX1.

Not sure if he's still involved with the Z scene much, but there should be a guy with a Vortech supercharged gunmetal 350Z in your area with Corbeau seats.

In my experiences, they're decent.

I've been pretty partial to Corbeau with my past few cars. If you have back problems, I wouldn't recommend the Forza as they're not the most comfortable seat. If you want a fixed back get the Clubman (can't comment on any of the other full buckets they offer). But, if you're open to reclineable seats then get either the LG1 or the CR1, they're both comfortable and will hold you in place.

I don't think any "review" is going to sufficiently educate you on the seats you're looking for - these are what hold you in the car

I would never buy a seat without testing it out

Try to find a retailer nearby with a showroom, or someone that owns the seats willing to let you sit in them

Easier said than done. I live in the midwest and not much for retailers up here.

Thanks for info!!! The A4 just doesn't seem to have enough hip/kidney bolsters that is why I was leaning towards the Forza which really has the bucket sides and optional lumbar support. The FX1 doesn't have lumbar support. I will go check out LG1/CR1. The Clubman looks good also.

Anyone have the RRB Corbeau's? Do you know of anyone with it. Looks like it has nice hip bolsters and shoulder with the ability and be adjustable back.

I have the Cipher Racing version of them. Pretty much the same as far as I can tell and are TÜV approved (German version of DoT). I ended up purchasing these since the Corbeau version wasn't available with the red stitching. I'm still waiting for the brackets but they're comfortable to the point that my wife even likes sitting in them and will definitely hold you in place.
