I put some corbeau seats in my 68, the only problem is that they sit too high. I custom fabbed the brackets, so i can lower it about 1/2 inch, but my head will still be way too close to the bar and the roof. Any thoughts? Anyone using seats that sit lower than these? Suggestions please.

i'm running procar rally's and they too are pretty tall compared to the originals. i'm only 5'7" and have to use the lowest setting on the bracket. i've heard the same complaint about my seats and brackets and about yours as well. it seems the companies make brackets, but didn't pay attention to the original height. i think custom mods is the only answer for you. good luck.

I'm 6'3" and have Sparco seats with no problems fitting.

I'm runny ProCar Elites. I flattened my procar brackets and trimmed the rear tracks.

However, that created clearance problems with the outboard seatbelt mount, the cover over the recline mechanism, and the tilt lever. I need to go back and cut the brackets apart and weld them back in with the seats moved inboard about 1/2".

I had to use some seat tracks for the usual RCI-style plastic racing seats since they are only about 1/2" tall. I needed to fab up some brackets and do some welding, but now I sit only 1/4" higher than the stock seat.

thanks, i may be changing to sparco....

I have Arizen seats which can be mounted pretty low.

I installed a pair of Corbeau CR1 seats with Corbeau 67-69 Camaro mounting brackets into my 67 over the weekend. They fit perfectly and do not sit too high. They sit about the same height as the factory 67 seats do, but I can slide them back much further and also recline now. Definitely a nice upgrade from stock.

Nine Ball... I am looking at the CR1's as a possibility for my 68... you got any pictures?

thanks
