Sabelt Taurus Halo racing seat
Anyone with experience with the Sabelt Tarus racing seat? I'm looking for a halo seat and came across this one. I looks to be about the same width as the Sparco Circuit and a little narrower than the Sparco Ergo.

I’m connected with sabelt so I think I’m going to be getting this for my s2k soon. Would be curious to see if anyone has run one yet. |
Sabelt has quite a few different seats. Why this model over the GT-PAD? Is it the size of the seat? The Taurus has a containment headrest, but the shoulder support isn't comparable. All the standards for containment seats (e.g. FIA 8862-2009) stipulate high strength lateral shoulder supports so that the driver's neck isn't taking the lateral load of their body in a crash. This is their catalog: http://www.sabelt.com/business-unit/.../pdf/seats.pdf

I have been debating between these two seats but worry that the issue is going to be fitment in the car with the PAD seat. Seeing pictures of halo seats like the sparco or a Taurus already seems like it’s a squeeze. |

I think the shoulder area is the issue with all seats in this car Unfortunately. I think I’ll probably go with a Taurus. |
The Kirkey 71 is smaller...not quite as rigid in the shoulders and head as the 73. It is popular in Spec Miata. Note: I've been posting dimensions for the 16" seat; it also comes in a 14" and 15".

I have no information on sabelt taurus seat however, I did run a Recaro Pro Racer SPG in my ap2 and I loved it. Basically fit like a Recaro Profi SPG with higher thigh bolsters and a slightly tighter shoulder. However, on my custom mugen-esque oem seat rails they were a bit too tall and rubbed on my OEM style hardtop and really close to the window (I have heard of other people having this issue on other rails).
I just bought a Bride Gardis 3 and it feels just as good as the Pro Racer and according to research from the few others that have the seat, it fits perfect in the car. (the containment part is a bit tighter and more angled in than the pro racer) But, I do have to say Recaro quality is better but cant complain. |
