Hard as a rock! Even though they say it has padding and in pics you can see the little pads everywhere, you can't feel them. They're like 1/2" thick. Like sitting on wood. The forza padding is like 2" thick. Much more comfy even as a DD. I hope the forza sport FIA feels the same.

Found out why the fx1 is hard and the forza is not. The fx1 is a true bucket/shell seat. So without a small pad you're sitting on hard plastic or whatever. The forza is metal springs across the bottom and probably the back with cloth put on over it. It's just like any seat ever made. The spring seat has more give and more comfort.

Measure your azz. See if it will fit from the seat specs on the manufacturers pages. I'm tall and thin and fit very tight in the fx1 corbeau which is 18" across.

Not trying to start a debate or anything, but wouldn't replacing the seats compromise safety? I want to put some buckets in my z, but eliminating the airbag in the seat makes me nervous. Also, from my understanding, putting 5 point harnesses in a street car is also dangerous (if your roll and don't have a roll cage). So is it better to run 3 point harnesses with bucket seats? So I guess my question is... Do buckets really make the car more dangerous? I want to get buckets, but I'm on the fence.

synolimit

Well cars for years have gotten 5 star crash ratings without seat air bags. And since a bucket seat holds you in and protects your hips etc, I'd say its way safer than a standard seat where you can flop around and slide left and right into that seat airbag! As for a 5 point, again that's safer because it holds you in. Not sure what a roll cage has to do with anything. If you roll a 3 point doesn't hold your nuts in. Roll cage or not, in a roll I don't want my head hitting the ceiling.

The argument on most forums against 5+pt belts with harness bars in a rollover is that it does hold you in place and the roof will collapse. The reason why 3pt is ok is that your body will roll down as the roof collapses.

It all depends on what kind of seats you get. If you cut corners and get a pair of "sport seats" from eBay for a too good of a price (e.g. $200.00 with harnesses), you just might become paralyzed in the case of a crash. You get some reputable name brands then safety is in your favor as that's the point of sports seats. All FIA approved seats are safety tested which is how they receive such designation. As far as harnesses go, assuming that the vehicle has proper reinforcements to attach such a device, a good compromise is a four-point harness with anti-submarining feature (What is anti-submarining?).

As far as I'm concerned, with replacing seats comes with the necessity to lose some airbags. It's all up to you at that point. I love how I feel that much more engaged with the car overall with my Sparco seats.
