Aftermarket racing seats
Hello Im new to the forums and have a question about my new 06 mustang. I am loving this car so far! My first mod I want to do is swap out the VERY heavy OEM cloth seats for my black corbeau racing seats. I found the correct brackets for mounting them but I am wondering if anyone has replaced the seats and what is involved with the pass airbag wiring. I know the passenger seat has a weight sensor in it to turn the airbag on and off. I would just like to have it always on. I took out the driver seat to mount an amp and could not believe how heavy the OEM seats are. The new seats are like 1/4 of the weight. Anyway please help! Im not tearing into the airbag circuits untill I have more info. Any help appricated

Heres what im installing. I hate how new cars now have seats wired to airbags, is this really necessary? Im thinking about getting a little bit smaller more race inspired steering wheel anyway. Maybe ill just remove the airbags completly. If i do that I should probaby get 5point harness. But yes if anyone even knows a member here who has aftermarket seats please let me know so I can PM him.

My father has those exact seats in his 05 and the height is extremely low for the stock seat frame rails. It shouldnt be that big of a problem if your over 5' 7" though

My dad acutally bought the car as is. Its the crazyhorse II that Boyd and Xmp did and never produced. The seats are pretty much on the floor btw. https://mustangforums.com/upfiles/16...8DA14C522A.jpg
Scroll down and you will see it about half way down the page and see a shot of the seats. Next time I get in the car ill see if they are the corbeau brackets which they probably are.
Edit: The seatbelts are currently stock and work fine.

RE: Aftermarket racing seats
yeah i love those seats but personally i cant find a good price for both driver and passenger including mounting brackets and harnesses, also i like sparco because of their work on the GT-R

They are worth the price, most comfortable auto seat ive ever sat in and it holds you in place so your not sliding around while trying to turn the steering wheel during spirited driving. I guess I will go talk to the techs at the dealer today, see if they can tell me anyting.

I can't see driving in those seat everyday. I looked at some aftermarket seat as well. I my research I found that good replacement seats would have to come from Recaro seat if you want comfort and seat stability. The another manufactures are just to uncomfortable. Recaro designs the seats for Ford and Chevy.(Mustang and Corvetts.) and many more. Price is 1500 and up. big differents in price.
