Picked these babies up from OG Racing today in Sterling, Va. Going to fab up my own mounting hardware b/c Sparco wants $150 per seat for a Corvette.

Brian -- Do you plan to daily drive with those in the car? Can you keep your seat adjustments (I know you lose the ability to recline).

They look nice!

What a difference those will make. You will no longer need pads on the outside of your knees to go around corners

Nice seats. What's the difference in weight between those and the stockers?

Nabbs... I plan on using them all the time, you can get a manual slider, but it raises the seat up 3/4ths of an inch. Being 6'4" I'm not sure if I have the room to spare. These are the Caravaggio race seats but w/o the fancy leather treatment (better to me). Caravaggio makes them to use the stock power rails but it raises the seat up too far for someone like me. I'm going to do a fixed install then see how it is.

Kflee, yeah it's the roadster... the materials are top notch

Jubs I havent weighed them but they're incredibly light... much lighter than stock, but the stockers have the seat rails on them when I pick them up. I've heard racing seats save upwards of 50 lbs.
