after my first day of track i was sliding a bit in my seat.

one probably cause the leather is sorta slick and two because im a pretty small guy.

so i was looking into a few choices of aftermarket seats.

1. Recaro SRD (if i can locate one)
2. Corbeau TRS looks like SRDs
3. F1 Spec Reclinable.

im basically looking for a seat i can get around 300-400. that wont block the glove box or do any rubbing and its reclinable so i can still effectively use the stock seat belt.

any suggestions either from my list or not?

thanks

 

you'll be able to use your factory seat belt with a fixed back seat as well. i've got a recaro SPA and it's extremely comfortable as a daily driver. the only bad part about it is that the leg bolsters are really tall and it makes getting in and out a bit of a pain, but getting the regular SPG solves that problem. i even swapped my stock seat in for a long trip yesterday thinking it would be a little more comfortable, only to regret it the whole time. fixed back seats are generally cheaper than reclinables, so you should be able to get a better quality one with your budget too.

 

but wouldnt the lap belt be too high and thus not securing me down

 

I guess there's a possibility that it would with some seats, but mine has relatively high sides and the belt still sits against me all the way across. It's also pretty easy to unbolt the seat belt and feed it through the left belt hole in the seat so that it holds you even better, but I didn't feel that I needed to.

 

How about a seat belt lock?

Theres also another one out there that is $40 or so and its manual but it just locks the top shoulder strap.

 

You need one of these: www.cg-lock.com

I had a harness in my previous car, and hardly notice the difference between the harness and the CGlock in terms of how it holds me in the seat.

 

im leaning towards the f1 spec reclinable. does anybody know if its safe for HPDE's>?
