I bought my Corbeau seats at Tognottis. One of the reasons I went this way besides the look and feel (when you sit in them) is because of rear seat access. They lean forward plenty but you do have to slide them forward before tilting them to have enough clearance for an avg sized person.

Check out the Mitsubishi sport seats (~5 years ago car model?)... high side bolster and very comfortable!... they look like Recaros etc.

Greg. Check your space vs the size of the new car seats. They would D not fit in my GTX as they are too wide. I'm thinking your console is even wider than the one from the 07 Charger I put in the GTX. Having said that, I am in Van Nuys right now. Dennis and I met in Hollister yesterday and drove down state route 25 and 33 to miss the I5 repaying delays. Holy [censored]! I cannot believe I have never been down this road and I may never drive I5 again?, Whn you get your Charger dialed in I would be more than happy to take that drive with you. My point is about the seats though. Lots of winding twisting And hills at big speed and the seats never even came close to feeling uncomfortable nor did I slide around at all. An awesome ride. Perhaps some upcoming weekend I can come out your way and you can drive around out one of the country roads near you and see what you think. I FINALLY have all of my performance issues resolved. I know that for a fact now after the workout I gave it yesterday!

SRT-4 seat in A-body. I apologize in advance for the crappy low light pics, I might be able to pull it out of the garage and get pics in the light. SRT seat pan is ALMOST exactly the same height off the floor as my '67 seats. No new holes will drilled in my California body. This was a first attempt at brackets and i will do the passenger side differently than this, but placement is IMO perfect for me. The SRT passenger seat and 67 drivers seat is in basement if you want to see side by side pics. I really don't see the big deal with fold up seat back hinge. 1) i will never be back there 2) just slide seat forward if more room is needed I have ACR harness pass-thoughs to be installed and spare set OEM seatcovers ;P

Ugh how depressing i installed the drivers seat a YEAR ago this month and have been fighting steering woes, over heating, and now PS/pulley/waterpump swap and now the barracuda has missed the entire autox session..
