Tried a search for a racing seat topic, but came up with nothing.
Any threads or info out there for a racing seat? Like a 5-point harness type?
Seen the sport seats that JCW now has. Not too shabby. But am looking for something else.
Thanx in advance for replies leading to info on this.
Cheers,

Take a look at the following How-to that RandyBMC did of a Sparco Torino in a friends Cooper S.


Also, the Corbeau TRS, CR1, and A4 seats are reclining back performance seat options as well as models from Momo, Sparco, Recaro, etc. Price-wise the Corbeau seats are the most cost-effective options available and are what I'm considering for my car. If you happen to be autocrossing keep in mind that seats other than factory are not allowed in stock classes. For STX and Street Prepared classes that the seat must have a suspended bottom (ie - can't be sitting on a solid shell). Alternatively you can also use any solid back (non-reclining) seat that has a suspended bottom. Corbeau makes the Forza which is allowable and I expect there are models from Sparco and others that are allowable.

Hope this helps.
