Racing Seat Reviews

- reclining vs. non-reclining racing seats?
I'm kind of new to the modified world, but I'm about to start on a project car. I'm getting a 240sx and getting a friend(very skilled mechanic) to help me do the sr20det swap. My question is what are the pro and cons of these 2 types of racing seats. (I'm planning on keeeping the car street legal, but making it something fun and fast on and off the track)

A Reclining Pros: -Most likey not made of nomex. Corbeau is a good seat to work with. Custom colors and what not are available. Fabric and leather and much more durable than nomex. -Side bolstered reclining seats provide almost just as much side support as a fix-backed seat. -A lot easier to use the stock belts with the seat. -Easier to get in and out of - A lot more comfortable. Cons: -Limited support -Non-FIA or SFI approved (Which may be an issue if you cage the car and want to race it in some clubs). -Heavy Fixed Pros: -SFI or FIA -Works well with 5th/6th pnt harness -Ultimate latteral support -Reclining is possible with side mounts -very solid seats Fixed Cons: -Usually more expensive -Nomex only last about 6 months on daily drivers -Don't work very will with stock belts -Rather large and take up space

- How do I fit reclining sports seat in a vw golf mk 4 (2000). Any help or links appreciated. Thanks.?
I have bought reclining bucket seats and subframes for my Vw Golf Mk4 but am not sure how to fit them. Has anyone done it and could help, i know vw golfs are commonly modified with racing seats so i know it can be done, just not sure how. Any help much appreciated, Thanks.

A Depending on whether these are equiped with air bags, you might have an issue with the air bag light and fitting the connectors. Here's a good site for modding your VW: http://www.vwvortex.com It's a free, owner-oriented website where you can search for a similar issue or post your own.
