    Default Corbeau FX1 Pro reviews?

    Anyone out there have any experience with the Corbeau FX1 Pro seat, or the standard FX1? I'm considering a drivers seat replacement for the NC and this one has come up on my radar several times as an affordable, light and fairly comfortable option to put in a car that will still be street driven. I am aware that race seats involve certain compromises in liveability, but the oem NC seats aren't so great that I'm concerned about that.

    If anyone has used them personally for any length of time and/or has compared them, I'd love to get your feedback. I'm pretty average sized with long arms (5'9", 170lbs, 33 waist)

    TIA

    Considering my height and weight advantage... having only 2" wider waist is pretty good IMO.

    :)

    Come to think of it, a Fried Chocolate Pie ala Mode from Peggy Sue BBQ sounds pretty darn good, right now.
