    I doubt many are. There isn't much of a good reason to race a vert. They are for comfort and style.

          Have you ever tried to get in and out of a fixed back bucket multiple times? It's a total PITA.

            Thats why the recaros I have are adjustable... Plus If I don't like them I can always put the leather back in. If i take my coupe to the track all I have to do swap over bracket and seat.

              I was referring to the OP's request regarding racing seats.

              No true racing seat has an adjustable back.

              What kind of recaros?

                      I'm sure they would look fine, but what's the point? A vert isn't a good track candidate, plus you need a roll bar and harness to run fixed back seats safely, no other way about it.

                      Are they super cheap? If so, clean them up and flip them. Then buy some reclining Sparcos.

                            Then it's not a racing seat.

                            Regardless, aggressive looking sport seats don't look that good in convertibles.

                              That is pretty much what I am thinking
