I'll be getting this http://www.racerwholesale.com/produc...c023726249f596

What do you recommend 10* or 20*? It's going in a C3

Carolina C4 Racer

I got the 20 degree in my C4. I'm tall & like to side down (or lay back) in the seat a little. The 10 degree was too straight up for me.

I have two 10* and tilt them back to raise up the under the knee part of the seat.

If you are considering using a HANS I would suggest the 20 degree...

C6400hp

Why?

kentz06

The HANS holds the helmet slightly more forward than without. I rotated the seat back in the Z to compensate for it but now the front might be a little too high. I may change the seat bottom padding a little.

Other than this issue the HANS has been very easy to live with. I never notice it when driving and it adds an additional amount of safety. IMHO an easy decision...

I guess I'll need the 20*'s

Get the Deluxe model.... I'm guessing like the Kirkey it has more gussets and ribs

20 deluxe check mounting points are good for you bracket or mount plans.

I'll have to make custom brackets.

Deluxe seats are too much as I need 2

Can't put a price on your body. Save for a few more months.... Touch both seats and you will see/feel the difference immediately.

Just a thought.

I brought the kirkey delux, although now I'm thinking I wish I went with the 10*. But I'll see after next weekend.

20 = more hans room at the back of the neck. = tall people can get more headroom in the car. = short people do not have the knee area raised too gain hans room by tilting a 10* back. 20 is way more comfortable unless you like the 10* full upright close to the steering wheel nascar position. Also, depending on your distance to the shifter a 10* will crowd your shift more.

Why can't they just remove the difficult decision and make a 15*???

AU N EGL

I am 6-2, I do like to up close and personal with the steering wheel.

I use the 10*, but also recline the back of the seat to about 20*, which allows the front part of the seat bottom to be rotated up. I also put additional padding under the seat cushion to raise my knees up a bit more.

Shifting is not a problem. The only thing I can not do is left foot brake. The steering wheel bottom gets in the way of my knee.
Guess I need a flat bottom steering wheel

This won't be a real race car. My dad's fatass can't fit in a roll cage so we have to stick with a 4 point . We do have a nascar though that will have a 3 thousand dollar seat in it already.

Edit: that is way to small though

I guess the drivers aren't to big

Hope you are faster than your dad....If he reads this you might have some parts missing from your car.
