Good dual purpose track seats
Looking for a good dual use road/track seat that both reclines and can support 5 point harnesses for my '80 911SC.
Any recommendations? Anyone using the Recaro Speed 5 seats? |

I have Corbeau CR1 for the exact same application. I would classify them on the low end of the high quality seat lines. My car is a weekend driver/De/autocross car. If it was a daily driver or long hauler I would opt for something nicer. They are priced accordingly and work perfect for me and look very nice.

I have the Sparco Evo 2 seats - thought I would end up switching them out - but ended up keeping them in because they are pretty comfortable.

Width and comfort gets important and subjective when you start putting big bolsters in. See if you can try before you buy.

Reclining seats have a tendency to break on car impact. This will render harness and Hans nearly useless. Consider this as you will push the car harder when strapped into 5-point vs 3-point street belt.

love my evo 2 (+) seats- not cheap but not expensive either. I drove 2500 miles round trip in them and they were ok. (my ass did hurt towards the 7-8 hour mark each day) but around town they are great.
I started with corbeau fx1s and sold them off after a few weeks- they would flex several inches when driving hard- not ok. |
