I used them in my 68. Was kind of nice having a bolt in ready seat available in the original colors for the price. Some people like them, others don’t. How tall areyou? Reason I ask is I am 6’1 and had to lower the mounts all of the way down and still had head clearance problems when trying to wear a helmet for track days. Not a factor for normal street driving though. They use a Procar Rally seat as its foundation.

Don’t get me wrong, they are a nice piece, but if you are thinking about some track days it might be a consideration. The issue is the seat bracket that mounts to the floor. The TMI ones are just as bad, they use the exact same floor mount bracket. I found a set of used Recaros locally and will be going that route eventually.

Before anyone buys these (Procar Ralley seats in disguise) they should sit in them for an hour or so. The seat bottom is NARROW between the bolsters. I’ve got a 32” waste and they kill me after 20 min.
The bolsters are also so tall that the seat barely tilts forward before the seat bottom bolster hits the seat back bolster. I have to tilt AND slide the seat all the way forward to even have a chance of squeezing past to get into the back seat.
I also had to cut, lower and re-weld the mounting brackets to lower them enough for my head to clear in my 66 Chevelle and I’m 6’.
I’m going to have to take them to a local upholstery shop to see if they can cut the foam back and redo the seat bottoms.

I'd hate to think what my 40" waist would feel like in them , Thanks for the real life info

Procar does offer an "XL" version. Don't know if Distinctive offers those as well. I would assume at least on a custom basis they could do it.
