Topic: Corbeau Seat?

Is  the  Corbeau FX1 Pro Seat (wide) going to be a good seat to install?  I don't think it's FIA approved.  It seems all FIA approved seats are super expensive.

It is Ok, it just needs to be mounted correctly and braced so it cannot fail rearward  (needs a back brace)       We don't require FIA seats

Do be careful that if you use a rearward brace that you make sure the seat has a solid back. Some Corbeau seats have no structure in that region, so a conventional brace would pretty much just be connected to your spine.
