There r a couple threads on this topic, but I haven't seen any lately. I was strongly considering the bmw m3 seats that have the integrated seat belt for my 77 trans am, and I still am. My predicament is that I will have a 10 point cage in my car. For safety reasons I believe this warrants a seat that has a 4 point harness or something. I'm not totally opposed to that, but I would love to have a nice, luxury, comfy seat. The car will be street driven 99.9% of the time when it's out, but I do plan to autocross it and MAYBE road race someday. I have the cage for rigidity reasons too btw. I say that just to stress how little I plan to track this. The intentions of my build have changed so much though that I am putting a 10 point cage in because I do not want to strip the car down again to modify the cage when my intentions change in the future again ! So I'm just doing it right this time.
What are your guys opinions? Can I safely use a luxury seat with heat, lumbar, etc? Or am I going to be forced to get an aftermarket racing seat like a set of corbeaus? If I do need a racing seat, what do you recommend for one that will be super comfy for street driving, but still have the harness and be good enough for autocrossing?
Any help is appreciated.
