Has anyone purchased Summits brand racing seats if so are they decent quality, and do you have any pics of the seats.

Would they look any good in a convertable?

Not sure, but FYI local CSK stores sell the exact same seats for $130 a piece. They only offer them in solid black, but as far as I have seen they are the exact same items.

Mansonozz has Cerullo seats which are a lot nicer than the Summit seats.

Personally I think they look OK but are made cheap. They don't even have a recline lever. You have to twist a knob on the side to recline it.

You get what you pay for.

ive got them in my stang, they look nice especially since i have the harness's to go with them. i got them when they first came out so they have the turn style knob to move the seat. its not a big deal for me since i dont have any rear seats. they might have refined it im not sure though. but as for comfort, ive been driving with them for 6 months now and theyre very comfortable for me, and at $190 a piece they were worth it to me...mount them on the stock brackets though or they wil probably sit too high, mine did the first time i put them in with brackets it bought..i took them out and just fabbed it up so i could mount it to the stockers

My next option for seats are the GTS 2 by Corbeau if I cant find any pics of any convertibles with the summit seats.

I know these seats would look great in the car but would run me about 300$ more than the summits.

This is the only picture I have when I had them in my car.


I tried to fab them up to work with my stock brackets but it wasn't happening so I bought the brackets.

They were about another $150 for both.

They were kind of stiff for me, but they looked nice.

I decided to get rid of them and get 2000 GT leather seats.



They were way more comfortable than the Corbeaus and ended up costing less.

They also bolted right in.
