Racing seats

[Mike Pearson]

I have the poly seats in my car. I have them through bolted and did not use the threaded inserts for mounting. They are not as pretty as the aluminum but are very comfortable and light.

That is what I still have in mine. Through bolted as well. Much more comfortable to me, and light.

I run the JAZ poly seats in my car, and have them through bolted. The back of the seats are bolted to a brace fabed off my cage. The seats are very comfortable, and rock solid.

I doubt you want to spend this much but they say if you wreck, these are good

If you are tall stay away from any of the poly seats. The aluminum ones give you more head room by a few inches.

We have used the poly and the aluminum in our race cars over the years. The inserts in the poly seats are worthless and as some have noted here, bolting them through is the way to go plus making sure you have the back of the seat supported/bolted to the roll cage cross brace. With the seat installed this way, it does a good job and I think is very comfortable. My boys like the Kirkey seats in their racecars and at least with the optional covers they aren't too bad - w/o the cover the things are rough on the bottom of your spine in my opinion. I also have found that the forward bolster part of the Kirkey seat kind of catches my outer thigh area and tends to hurt eventually. If you have the chance I would see if someone will let you sit in their car to see how they feel to you.

On a stock floorpan car how are you mounting the seats? On thru bolting the plastic seats are you using carriage style smooth head bolts? Are you drillng thru where the inserts are?
