Corbeau FX1 Seats and Sliders?

[Anks329]

Has anyone installed sliders with the FX1 seats that DF sells? From the Corbeau site, I see that they have sliders available that are a direct fit for a Chevy Cobalt (https://corbeau.com/chevrolet-cobalt-04-seat-brackets/). Is that my best option to use here?

My understanding is that the FX1 seats are both side and bottom mount. If you go with sliders, you will have to bottom mount and that will raise the base of the seat a few inches. Might be a deal breaker for those who are taller and wear helmets for race events. For me, sliders are gonna be mandatory so the wife can drive it as well.

I have the A4 seats and their Cobalt sliders. Their sliders move the seat forward a few inches compared to the stock seats or the DF supplied seat brackets. I don’t think they’re taller than stock brackets but have not directly compared them. the FX1 holes might be in a different place...

I wonder if anyone has cut the sliders off the Cobalt donor seats, and made them work for a race seat.

My driver's seat is set up like this. Chad's seats are/were also installed with stock sliders.

Same reason here, I got the car up and running for myself, now need to enable my wife to drive the car as well!

I've heard that it's pretty hard to get the stock slider off the seats, and my seats are long gone at this point.

I cut my seat sliders off the stock seats and used an adapter plate I got from ctuinstra. I used them on the corbeau seats you get from DF. Probably raised my seat height a couple inches maybe, but with the extended frame the loop behind driver is a couple inches higher so really not loss in safety for me at least.
