    Race seats?

    I have been wanting to put in some race seats for a while to give me more leg room. I have a sub behind my seat and I thought a thinner seat might give me an inch or two more. But I realized yesterday that the seat belt is built in the seat. Does anyone have different seats if so post some pics.

    most people put a hoop in with a harness bar if they get any other seats. thats the only thing ive ever seen done.

    keep the stock seats and modify the frame of the seat for more clearance. Its pretty easy to do straightforward and keeps the stock look and comfort. Race seats will make people assume your super fast or super lame and they won't be as comfy.

    I don't guess i know what you mean. How would I modify the frame to sit me back further? The seat back hits the sub box and won't allow the seat back any further. I still have a few more inches i could go back if the box wasn't there.
