Default Re: Stock seat clarification please

Guys, I've modified plenty of stock seats to where they would still pass tech.
I've taken every other spring out of back seats to lighten then , and I've cut a slot into a driver's high back bucket for a Y- harness to pass through, then padded the slot and had it re-upholstered.
I've welded the adjusters and even the hinge up and I've braced up the seat brackets under the floor board.
I never had a problem needing to get anything approved...Never asked.

So, I would say;
A ,
If you're afraid to race with stock seat, modify it yourself. Of course, they might end up HEAVIER.
Or B,
Get yourself a slower car. You don't see Jody Lang on here complaining about his seats, do you?
