    Seat bracket out of a Fiero (Fiero on left. Firebird on right)

    Lowered seat about an inch

    Much needed headroom was gained

          Just noticed this seat track trick . Very cool .p.s . GTA seats sit lower at least 2 inches . When I go from the gta to the 91 camaro , I feel like I'm in a truck !

              Report back on how them round black things work out for you. Been wanting to try that brand, and those look proper sticky.... but been afraid of durability, or lack thereof.

              Keep it up!

                  My oldest son had them on his 92 . I c as n tell you they wore well but he didn't make their life rough so I can't say how grippy they were . Also the youngest son has 3 of those with a little curb rash if your looking for some for the track . I'll sell them right out of my garage for scrap value $11 bucks a piece . I really liked those wheels . For the rest of you out there , my old GTA had them in gold on the centers .

                      These wheels are actually the Hawks reproduction wheels that are 17X9. The tires got their first use on the autocross at summer nationals and initial impressions are good. More grip than the old ones for sure.
