I put in a 4 point H style harness, but the stock seat does not agree well with the harness, and although I love the speakers in the headrest, I think the following seat would be better for me when I am whipping the car around the track.

It is a corbeau brand seat with the holes in the seat for the shoulder belts to go through. Now This seat might not be right for the Fiero, but I am currently concerned whether or not the stock Fiero seat mounts can be used in general with these type seats.

Does anyone have reccomendations about what seat with this style would be good for our cars? Oh yeah plese refrain from listing $1000 seats.

I had Corbeau Clubmans in my car. they were just KILLER for racing but for long trips you'll kick yourself.. the Corbeau Targa RS is a MUCH more comfy seat and you'll be able to retain the harness... I've installed them in other cars.. Oh i used the stock seat slides and just drilled an extra set of holes about 2" back from the front hole and bolted up the seat. i purchased them from AUTOMOD here in Atlanta.

Thanks for the info folks.
If I am not mistaken then the stock seat bracket can be used with minimal modding to retain a Forza seat.
