Ok today I just got back from a autocross and I have decided Iam going to need a racing harness. Every turn I make I find myself fighting just tryin to stay in the seat. Its really distracting and cumbersome. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I would like to know though for those people who are running them where you are bolting them to, other then a roll bar. I have a completely stock interior and would like to keep it that way because it is my daily driver. And I would also like to keep the stock seat belt for normal driving.

Remember, aftermarket seats will take you out of stock. But I agree, stock seats and belts in an F body suck. Good job on Sunday, I wish I could have made it.

The Pontiac seats have deeper bolsters, is it legal in stock to swap into a Camaro?

There is a guy out here that has made a few sets of seat bolsters that work quite well at keeping the butt planted in the seat, and that helps a lot to control the torso. He takes 2 blocks of foam about 12" long, sizes one to fit snug between the console and the drivers right thigh, and the other one between the door and the drivers left thigh. Then he sews a fabric cover that encases both pieces of foam and connects their bottom inside edges together with a butt sized piece of fabric. You put this on the seat, drop into it, and shutting the door wedges it all together. The cover keeps them from popping out. Works well, doesn't need any hardware or mods to the car. Dunno if it would raise any eyebrows in FS.
