SPARCO R333 Seats

Has anyone tried these on the Camaro? What's neat is they also recline.

Weight is 28.6lbs.

Our stocks recline lol. So many folks doing HPDE with stock seats.

I wanted something is lighter than stock seats and also reclines with pass throughs up top.

I have no plans for a half cage just a BY Harness bar.

Reason being I drive my car 80% Street / 20% Track.

In a similar boat.
Installing a sert of reclining corbeaus from summit today. No harness bar. Using a scroth ASM harness. Waiting on the sliders/brackets to come. Should of been here last night.

From what I've read on this site, having a reclining seat is a wise idea if you aren't going to have a roll cage. Some tracks do not allow fixed back seats with a harness bar. The lack of collapsibility in a roll over make it dangerous.

Its a work in progress.

Passenger seat is in with accompanying harness and airbag emulator resistor. However the airbag light is unfortunately on. I kept the pretensioner but apparently I'm missing something. Back to searching the site I go.....

My biggest complaint is how low the seats set. I have long legs, short torso. 5 foot 7 inch female. SO this weekend I am adding 4 inches of some home made risers hoping it will be enough. I suspect not. Track days are fast approaching.
