If you go with Corbeau, the composite shell FX1 would be a better choice. I'd also consider a Kirkey Intermediate RR seat - available in 18" width for about $50 more than the FX1. |

What about a car that has no roll bar to attach a seat back brace? |

I'd also consider a Kirkey Intermediate RR seat - available in 18" width for about $50 more than the FX1. What about a car that has no roll bar to attach a seat back brace? In that case I would prescribe an FIA with current certification, which does not require a back brace, with the caveat that if you do tip over without a rollbar and the roof collapses, a race seat may increase occupants injuries. Theoretically an OEM seat will allow the drivers upper body to smoosh out of the way, where a race seat will hold it upright. YMMV. My standard advice for adding the basic track safety systems (rollbar, seat, harnesses) is to do all 3 at once, or none. This post has been edited by Blainefab: Jun 2 2011, 10:05 PM |
