I'll add my .02. We just spent 10hr in a set of PRP Daily Driver's. Mounted to a set of cut down K5 bases. Also running their 4pt harnesses.
Neither the wife or I are nearly as worn out as with the factory seats we previously had. I'm 5'10" around 160lbs. She's shorter and slightly heavier than me. This was the first real use of the seats and they were worth every penny. Spending the day bouncing around the sand dunes before would have us both sore at the end of the day. Having more support and being strapped in tight made a huge difference. The back could be a touch taller for me but not a big enough deal for me to want to swap them out.
FWIW: The pair of these was $1606.64. Options I got were heated, front and rear pockets, upgraded to small diamond stitching. The matching rear was $898.32 with the only option being the upgraded stitching. Shipping was $400 to my door which seemed high for how they packaged them and their weight.

They look great. My question being fixed back is it reclined too much in the standard position? Do you feel you lean your head on the head rest?I'll add my .02. We just spent 10hr in a set of PRP Daily Driver's. Mounted to a set of cut down K5 bases. Also running their 4pt harnesses.

I usually sit up pretty straight in my seats that's why I'm not sure fixed backs would work for me.

I've got the driver's seat reclined a little bit. The head rest is in a good spot for me and how I like to sit.
The passenger seat is more level. Did that for the wife as she has shorter legs and couldn't touch the floor otherwise. When I sit in it, it doesn't feel bad or uncomfortable. I just prefer the slightly leaned back more.
The seats have vertical tabs for mounting. Used some angle iron to mount them to the K5 sliders, which have a slight curve to the top of them. I shimmed up the front of the seat to clear and get the back where I wanted.
I went back and forth on getting recliners or fixed back. Ultimately deciding on the fixed with the theory that I don't often change the seat angle in anything else I drive. This isn't quite a daily driver yet, but once it is more finished I plan on using it more often than not. So far I don't see any reason why I won't like how I currently have them mounted.

I have my seats kicked back a bit. My friend had the same exact seats but mounted flat and I wasn't a fan. I prefer the in the seat feeling vs. on it.

I ordered a heated seat controller kit off the aliexpress because NA sucks for that kind of shit, once that comes in I'll get back on this.
One last wheeling trip this year Oct 20-22 then it goes under the knife again.

But $2600 + duty cdn... See Canada sucks.Podium Elites with seat heaters and air lumbar. I just built a set and it's $940 a pop and I think that's more than it was a few months ago when I built them. They are $700 base price.
Man, now I want to order these seats

Corbeau Baja SS fixed back in my desert car. 5'11", 200lbs, fit perfectly fine and can run all day without any issue. Vinyl is easier to clean, but the fabric is far more comfortable and grippy.
The entire seat is 22" wide...Ok so 2 hours later after being out of town since Thursday, my time is my time.
The side bolsters on the Corbeaus are splayed out too far unless your ass is 30” wide.

Ship to states near border, drive over, grabs seats go back. I've shipped to guys this way in the past with no issues. Hell you just said you we in NC right? How much would you save to drive over for them?

Im in southern on. Problem is you need a full family and a 48 hour stay to bring shit back duty/ tax free. Each person is allowed $800 tax/duty free.
Last time I went over for a quick 35 min trip to Port Huron the tax man got me pricks even made me pay tax on the shipping charges to Michigan.
Canada sucks man.
Need to find an actual dealer up here and you can side step the shipping. But the ones I've found only have sports.car.seats.
