Seats for a daily driver DE/Auto-x car?

[m42technic]

Explain please why a fixed back seat is safer ? Under what condition ?

I'll be replacing seats in my car in the future also but not sure if they'll be fixed or reclining seats (like corbeau a4 for example).

The recline mechanisms on reclinable seats dont tend to stay very rigid under high g-force [read: crash] conditions.

I'm in the boat as you, kinda I'm still barless. But I decided on going fixed back. It seems a whole lot safer, especially if I get rear ended on the street. I'll just have to find a new place to sleep whenever I skip a class. It seems like I will spend a grand on seat no matter what, its like my car's value doubles every time I do a mod.

The Cobra Imola II is a pretty outstanding value IMHO. Carbon-kevlar and FIA approved for $529.

Just dont cheap out on a seat...

Its decision time. Seats get pricey no matter which route you go.

Whatever you find, be nice to your boyz and get a six point harness.

Just picked up a VSR rollbar this afternoon, and I'd like to run 5 or 6 point harnesses for driving schools and autocross.

Ideally, since this car is still a daily driver, I'd like to have something that reclines, but the only seats I can find that are compatible with 5-points are the Recaro Speeds. They're a bit out of my price range, though. Are there any other similar seats that are cheaper?

I'd also consider fixed back seats, but are they safe to use with factory 3-point seat belts?
