I know the width of the drivers seat is the problem with swapping seats. How much wider can I go without interfering with the emergency brake lever? I have a set of Porsche seats that are about 3/4" wider and look like they'll clear, maybe with a little re-shaping of the lever so it doesn't rub.
How wide a seat have you guys used and still have a usable brake lever?
I just ordered a new set of seats that will be here friday Seats they state their 20 inches wide so i called them and a tech took one out and measured it and said it measured 19 3/4 . The Guys that are using C4 and C5 and F body seats could prob give you a better answer. with mine being almost 20 i shouldnt have a prob.

Those actually look pretty nice! Been thinking about that myself. Do they sell brackets to match? my main deterrent has been the fear of having to fab my own.
Cypher sells the brackets for the fiero but i think their the same part number for the F body too. brackets are high. making brackets to fit will be easy seeing the Fiero has a flat floor. Ill try to get some pics of the brackets and measurements for these seats when i get them built.
Those look pretty sweet. Do they feel pretty durable? How much do they weigh? Please post some pics of the install as I (and probably a few others) are interested in following along to see how they look and what your thoughts are.
I need it to get out of the 0's here... Just sayin....

It will be a few days before i get to install them. As far as looks? They look Sick!!!! Their firm but not too firm and you wont be sliding into the door panel turning curves, thats for sure!!, weight/UPS box said 31.2LBS I got mine from ikonmotoring on ebay. 273,95 to my door! and in 3 days Cali to ARK YES free shipping!!!! and well worth it!
They Fit But the inside adjuster needs to be removed, theres one on both sides. but width is not a problem at all. Ill be posting the brackets with measurements later this week or weekend.

Wish my corbeau seats would clear the ebrake...Mine has to stay far forward because of the roll cage I'll be getting. The seat touches the window a little bit how its mounted right now. It's a pain to get in and out already haha. For now I modified a stock seat bracket. I'll purchase one from the fiero store unless this other guy you talked about is cheaper. Here are a couple shots of the install and fitment.
Also I should add that I'm 5'7" and with my helmet on for the track I have like no headroom on stock seat brackets. Not sure if any of this helped you OP.

Yours looks great, but being a fixed back your bottom sides are taller than mine. i have plenty of room for my e-brake . Im 5'11 and the seat comes within 3 inches of the headliner to me that plenty of room. BTW that first pic (THE WALL OF BEER) Love it .
