Consider A Racing Harness

 

So, your brand new Racing Seats are in, look just great and secured tight. You just can't wait to try them out. But before you venture out on to the Road.

The next thing to consider is your restraining device.  Will your factory seat belts work or do you need to upgrade to a Racing Harness.  If you're new racing seats have wide lateral support areas your factory seat belts might not be able to securely keep you in place coming out of that turn..  

However, in most applications, your factory seats belt will do just fine.  An alternative and really the icing on the cake is to install a four or five point Racing Harness.  You have already shelled out good money for an expensive racing seat; you might as well finish off the desired look by having a colorful Racing Harness draped over your seat.

 

If you own a 2 door vehicle with a back seat you should also check with your local DMV to determine if you need to have at least one seat that can recline forward.  Some states do have laws on the books for this so again you don't want to spend your hard earned money and then have Johnny Law site you for a fix it ticket.

 

Finally, the last thing to consider when purchasing your racing seats is the comfort level.  Remember that depending on what your vehicle is used for, daily driver or weekend track car, you will be spending a lot of time in the seat.  The last thing you want is to be uncomfortable.  Try seating in as many racing seats as possible since all racing seats are not made equal.  A fixed back racing seat will not give you as many options as a reclinable racing seat does.  If your vehicle is going to be used as a daily driver then a reclinable seat might be in your best interest.
