Revised Arizen Racing Sports seat coming soon

[arizen]

Just wanted to let everyone know we are revising the seat model we use for our custom upholstered seats. Many people were disappointed when we switched from the original model we offered to the ST because of the larger harness holes in the headrest. The switch was primarily because the bottom bolsters were easier to get in and out of as well as more durable and the seat back held you in place much better. We plan to come out with the model below by November and we will offer them in houndstooth and other custom upholstery. Anyone that is interested in having us make seats for them can email me a description of what they are looking for and I will start working on estimates.

Thats a nice looking seat!

The new design looks great, Mark!

New design looks great. Any chance the bottom is shorter now too? IIRC the newer ones had you sitting higher, are these back to being lower?

Please oh please!

I can't believe the ST model could have sat much higher. It does use a 2 piece direct bolt-in bracket which is 3/8" tall. The old model had sliders that were far enough apart that you could use a single flat plate like below and save 3/16" but you would need to mark and drill your own holes. I thought the ST bottom cushion was slightly thinner and made up that difference but I'll have to check.

We have requested the change below to the cushion foam. The top is the current shape and the bottom what we submitted. That should gain another 1" of headroom for those in need.

man i love them new style seats..is the change in foam gonna make them harder on the ass?..

[Mr Nick]

More headroom is key for us taller guys (6'6" here) especially when wearing a helmet.

It shouldn't. There will still be a suspension system under the foam that should prevent the seat from feeling rigid.

I have the stock seats in my 69 camaro right now and more head clearence would be awesome. I have hit my headliner more than enough times with my helmet and I am only 6'

I'm 6'3" near 300lbs and these work well in my '68 Camaro. They are a little snug on my thighs but I don't slide around in them.

Larry - What's going on? You said 280 lbs. when you first got the seats. Don't tell me your just using this beast to get to the donut shop faster :-)

I might have just got myself banned from the site!

[Larry Callahan]

Hey!! I said near 300.. 280 is close enough for me. lol!

Where is that ban button?

I'm curious to get some real world feedback when these are ready. At almost 6'6" I will need all the room I can get as I'll be channeling the floor in mine.

Our new ST2 seats should arrive about the 3rd week of February. This is the model we will be offering custom upholstered in houndstooth, comforweave, leather, suede, etc. according to customer requirements. We should have some upholstered pictures in 2-3 weeks.



We have a couple of seat models that will be discontinued. One is the RS model below. It is a well built seat that passed 20g rear impact testing. Its downside is it does not have a quick-release for the seat back to fold forward instantly. It does recline forward and back by adjusting the knob. We have 10 seats left unupholstered and can sell them for $299 per seat to anyone interested.

where can I get pricing on these seats?

The ST2 will be priced according to how it is upholstered. Depending on the cost of the cover material (vinyl, comfortweave, houndstooth, leather, suede, etc.) the seats will range starting at $679-$799 each. We will have some with an imported black cloth cover that will be less expensive but will not be able to offer matching rear seat covers for those models.

[arizen]

We have I believe 2 sets of the RT seats in black cloth below remaining. If any are interested in them for a first gen Camaro I will offer a special deal with sliders and mounting brackets for $799 a pair delivered in the continental US. Email me if interested.

This will be the basic upholstery pattern for the ST2. Any seats we upholster will be available with or without harness openings. We will also make the inserts in custom stitching patterns to match the o/e designs like houndstooth and comfortweave seats.

Will the new seats have matching rear covers as well?

I going to be redoing my interior and would be interested in the new seats with harness openings. As well as the seat adapters for a 69 Camaro and matching rear seat covers.

As far as color goes I see this picture on your site:


I have a Lemans Blue 69 RS with white interior that I think I'd like to change to either a blue or black, is the black with blue inlay an still an available color option?
