Right now I have a stock bench seat. I'm thinking about getting a fixed back seat. Can anyone comment on how they live with them in their car. I normally sit pretty upright anyways so I think I'd be ok with a fixed back seat. But would it get annyoing on longer drives?

Thinking about this seat.

Bump. Someone has to have some advice.

It would be very difficult for somebody to get into the back seat w/ fixed back fronts. Unless the seat tracks had a ton of movement in them.

Just my thoughts,
Joe

The driver seat will be the only fixed back seat, so if I need access to the back I can tilt the passanger seat.

I'm going to call corbeau and see if they could do blue insert to match the driver seat

How often do you plan on taking long cruises? Whats your definition of long cruise? 1 hour---9 hours?? Most of the events I attend with my car are long cruises so I personally think it could get very annoying to have a seat that wasnt adjustable. Its really nice to be able to adjust your seats as much as possible for long cruises. If your cruises arent that long then go for it. If you dont like the seat then you can always sell it.

Well I have the power tour coming soon so that kinda long, and I think I'm driving the car to Pigeon Forge this year. But otherwise a longer drive for me is about 1 and half hours. And the usual crusing around town on the weekends.

I was also wondering if all Corbeau seats mount the same. Cause if I get a fixed back seat and dont like it then it would be super easy to change it for a adjustable seat.

If they can do the blue inserts in the adjustable seat, I would just get two of them. That way you have matching seats, and both sides are adjustable. To me, the top one doesn't look very comfortable, but I could be wrong.

So right now I'm trying to think of evey reason good or bad to help me make my decesion on the drivers seat. And I need to do a little measuring to make sure they will fit in the car.

Sounds like you got it figured out. Good luck, and I hope you like the setup.
