Update, I sold the HTE-Rs and ordered a set of WRC XLs, the Halos are awesome on track but I just couldn't enjoy the car on the street at all and I still ENJOY driving one of the BEST Camaro's ever made to car shows and to Work on Fridays. I'll update with some pictures once i get the new ones installed.

Also, changed the color of my Track Wheels (BC Forged RZ39s) to a Walt's Gold for a more striking look on track days. Still have the BC Forged RZ10s in Bronze for street work.

Looks great, thanks for sharing.

Do you have a part number for the Sparco sliders?
How was the headroom after the sliders? Any lower than the OEM Recaros or higher or the same?

wondering how a tall person would fit those seats?

The Parts:

Studio RSR 4-point bolt-in cage
Schroth Harnesses Profi 3x2
OMP HTE-R XL Seats
BK Sport seat mounts
BK Sport side mount brackets
BK Sport sub strap mounts
Sparco Sliders
Shrader Seat Delete Kit

FAQ:

Airbag Light does come on, it doesn't bother me, it is very small
Airbags still deploy in a wreck, as has been proven on the track, unfortunately.
The seats are very comfortable and look great
The blind spot monitor system still works
The side mirrors stop working when you remove the driver seat (module is there)
The Sparco slider levers are too long out of the box, so I had to shorten them by about 60mm
The BK sub straps pulled the rails together too tight, so I had to slot their mount holes.
The car's weight was down to 3680 with my Braile 5lb battery (I did not weigh every single part) before the 4-point install, my guess is it's back over 3730ish now, I will check again.
The studio RSR 4 point cage is easy to install but START with a new set of Cobalt drill bits with drilling lubrication oil.

STUDIO RSR Install Steps:
1) Remove front seats
2) Remove back seats and plastic
3) Put the rear support bar in, then the main hoop, bolt together
4) Mark your spots on the rear bar mounts and drill in place
5) Bolt in the rear bar, no check position of the main hoop
6) Drill a few mm forward from where "center is" on the front hoop
7) Drill and bolt down

*use plenty of oil, use a punch to get started, low speed on the drill bit to make it last*
*the metal is very, very, very thick and rigid, take your time
*we used fishing line to pull the bolts through the drilled holes, vs. trying to fish a washer and nut on the backside and blindside of the bolt.

Good luck!

What is the seat height comparison to the oem seats? I'm a talk guy and I have issues with the car as is and have the seats as low as possible. If I could go another inch lower I would in a heartbeat.



Your install looks great too. Nice to see someone take their time and make it look good and be functional.
