^^I had those in an older CRX, after about a year the fabric started to rip in the leg area.
I thought the seats where very comfy though, drove down HWY 1 SF to LA a few time

0-60 mph = forever
But I look good getting there
Yeah, I have worn a small hole where my wallet rubs when I get in and out of the car. I'm swapping them out soon for NA seats. My main concern with the Forzas is the fact that it's a metal tube for the frame, and my head rests right on that tube. I figure that wouldn't be too safe in an accident...

My Forza didnt wear too well, it was the really old one without the reinforcement patches sewn in. I was able to make new panels of fabric to repair the covers in the end. Corbeau wanted half as much as the seat cost for replacement covers. It was a really comfy seat, though. Id buy one again. (They were under $200 when I bought mine years ago)
I'm ditching my Corbeau CR1s because they're too narrow. Going back to stock until I find something I like. I'm 6'2" and 200lbs so leg room is already an issue even with the factory seats. The S2000 seats look nice though.

After installing my Elise seat, I noticed an indention developing in the seat from my wallet. I have since altered my behavior and now I always keep my wallet in my front pocket.Originally Posted by morr

Tube frame seats scare me as well. Even if they are certified.
^I'm glad I'm not the only one. I recently traded seats (plus cash) with blu92. I need to re-pad my rollbar, and the plan is to have these seats reupholstered in red leather. To keep things slightly on topic... (The carpet isn't secured, because I need to take it out again soon to work on the rest of the interior)

just so you guys know . This is coming from someone who drove big rigs for a while. The drving with the wallet in you back pockets is really bad for your back. Please take it from someone who has suffered from this
I too, have SPG.
NRG FRP bucket. Bolted ontop on the stock rails, can slide a little bit. Got it used so its a bit worn and faded, rubs with doorcard, but feels great.
Hey guys i'm a pretty big guy, and i've been looking at seats to replace the old NB leathers, What company do you guys reccomend for a bigger person?
Stats? The reason I ask, is because I would like to know some options as well. I have sat in a few race seats, and all of them are made for petite per-pubesent boys, with no upper body mass.
I am 6 foot, 230 (working my way down to 210), with fairly broad shoulders.However, I am married. What can I fit into?

i'm 6 foot as well, but have a heavy drop in at 275 i'm working my ass off trying to get to 230 lol but it's a slow way down to the goal
I have fitted a customer race miata with a Sparco Evo 2 plus before, lowered and centered with the steering wheel.
The driver was a 250-260 Lbs. guy and the seat was a good fit for him.
The downside is that the amount of work to get it done properly was enormous, driving the cost of installation up... not for the faint of heart.
