Anyway:


Corbeau A4 Racing Seat (Pair) in Black Microsuede - $349/Seat List Price


Corbeau 2" 4-Point Racing Harness in Black or Red (depending on interior design) - $69.00/Belt List Price


Corbeau 2" Harness Pads in Red or Black - $15/Pair

Autopower Street-Sport Roll Bar - $404.95 List Price

Total - $1468.95

Thanks for looking!

love everything, i prefer the TRS seats over the A4 tho, they are only a 100 -200 bux more for the pair.

also, if its your daily driver i sugggest you dont get a rollcage, and you already know why.

everything else sounds good.

I know why, but I want to run the harnesses, so I don't have much of a choice... I can get plenty of foam bar covers... I don't know, it's a lot to think about.

That'll be sweet, but I'd suggest leavin' the harness pads out though.

What's the opinion on, say, a harness bar versus a roll bar/cage? This car is daily driven and sees some track time (not as much as I'd like) so I'd like to sort of... get as much of both worlds as I can. I'm set on the seats, harnesses, and mounts... contemplating the pads... so it's really all about the set-up of the harnesses (any and all cage/bars will be wrapped in foam padding).

the tC is already top heavy, and by adding the autopower cage it becomes even worse.

go with a custom cage set up, that way you can design it for your convenience.

Any idea on how much that'd run me? And what kind of shop do youj go to do get work like that done? Just a body shop or suspension shop?

Ok, I've been thinking and now want to get an opinion on this setup (both are competing for my heart ):


Corbeau Forza Fixed-Back Racing Seats (Black Cloth) - $220/Seat


Corbeau 3" 5-Point Racing Harness (Red) - $150/Harness


Corbeau 3" Harness Pads (Red or Black) - $18/Pair


Corbeau Mounting Bracket - $99/Bracket


Autopower Street-Sport Roll Bar - $404.95

TOTAL - $1378.95

Decisions...

Oh, and you think the cloth will go well with interior panels and headliner done in suede? And what on earth should I do the rear-seats in!?
