Seats question

[Yegor]

I want to get some racing seats for my car, and i wanna run 5 point harness (i love how they feel in the corners) i was looking at a BRIDE Vois seat, will they work for rallycross, and stage rally? and the harness is RIC or Takata (if i can fiend a set for a good price)
If any one has any suggestion please let me know.
-Thank you

Yes they will work, and you will be paying about an extra $700+ for bling.

Momo start seat is FIA rated at $299 and G-Force camlock belts are $149 at Safedrives.

Why pay more for the same safeness? There are numerous other choices that will do the same thing for a lot less dough, especially used stuff, just be sure it is in good shape and meets the ratings required for any sanctioning body you want to run with.

Those are not real Bride seats, they are reproductions. This phrase gives it away ""Bride" is a legal registered trademark in Taiwan.This seat is not made in Japan." Real Bride seats are made in Japan.

I'm not saying they won't work for you, but they are not necessarily what you might think they are and they probably don't carry any certification or guarantee they are safe. I wouldn't put my safety in them in a competition situation but that is a decision you will need to make for yourself. For the same price you can get a pair of seats that ARE certified.

one more question for running a 5 point harness in a sedan should i run a Racing Harness Bar in the back of a racing seat. cuz from what i understand the upper two belt have to go a bit higher then your shoulders not two brake your back in the accident. I cant fiend harness bar any where for GCs.

and also should i get 2 seats or just one for the driver and run a 4/5 point harness on the co-driver stock seat.

here are some seats i found.

Skip the harnesses and harness bar and wait until you get your cage installed.

wow - those seats say 'Bride' all over em' :)

Running harnesses without some sort of rollover protection is not good.

If you are in a rollover accident the harnesses will hold your body more upright than a stock belt and your head/neck can be crushed.

I guess it's a question of how much is your life worth to you. You're really risking it by buying a "cool" looking seat that doesn't meat Cert. If it were me, I would just spend the money on a good cage, and buy something a bit less flashy than a "bride" seat. If you just want to spend a lot of money on the seats, go for Ricaro. They're expensive but very comfortable and support you well. There are also quite a few other less expensive seats that will work just as well.
