wez_p Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 just wanted to know how other people had got one with fitting their subframes from Corbeau in the UK i've got a set of the Carerra seats and i've now had 2 sets of subframes from Corbeau personally, i think the quality & fitment of them is appalling as an example, the 2nd set i have now, whilst i can actually get the subframes to match up with the stock seat bolt holes i don't think the thread on the bolts will be up to much now and my drivers seat still touches the door card when it's closed, meaning you can't get the seatbelt round without opening the door again! when i adjusted my seat, i felt some 'interference' and when i moved it back again, part of the internals of one the runners fell out! i haven't fitted the passenger side yet, but last time i couldn't even get the bolt holes to match up on them! if you look on the web site http://www.corbeau-seats.co.uk/Corbeau%20Accessories.htm at the subframes on there, that was the kind of thing i expected. i'll post a picture up of what i have actually got at some point if anyone's interested or also having the same problems anyone bought some from Corbeau USA?

He's done everything he can to get the problem rectified but the latest batch are still rubbish IMO. He's fitting a set tomorrow with some Carreras as he tried a set with some Boss seats last week & they went in fine. The Carreras are smaller seats in every dimension according to the specs on the Corbeau site so if the Boss seats fit then the Carreras should. Noticed tonight i now have a dent in the door card where the seat is pushing against it & the seat is also now loose on the subframe somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new style subframe works fine with the "Boss" seats. glad yours went in ok matey they do look nice so they don't touch the door card at all? maybe i've just been unlucky with mine gonna try the passenger one in the morning and see how that goes in they are bloody comfy compared to the stock seats aren't they?! Paul was also fitting some Carreras today for someone apparently so will find out how they went in too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 just to bring closure to this issue for anyone who is also thinking of getting some Corbeaus, i am now a happy chappy firstly, from the 2 sets of subframes that Corbeau sent me (1 set that didn't fit the bolt holes & 1 set with broken runners) i managed to make a single set that are fully fitting & functional secondly, and more embarassingly, it turns out that the seats i bought are actually the 'wide' edition ( see here ) hence why they were hitting the door cards good ol' ebay anyways, a local car welders took a look at them and managed to bend the outer edges in very slightly so that they now do not touch the door cards & look no different from what Paul has been telling me he has now sorted his suppliers for subframes that are fully fitting and has a few other people now very happy with their Corbeau seats too sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
