ultrashield rally sport, 20* layback. is the hardbar system good for all seats? it's going into a c5.

That is what I used.

HardBar on my Ultra-Shield seat. Plus I made my own back brace to the harness bar

Hardbar &


IO PORT makes a decent brace that is cheap you just need to bend the flat plate to the seat back.

link/site? thanks for the info guys.
nevermind--google turned up something for me for once!

I have a set of IO brackets if someone is looking for them. I will sell for less than the cost of new.

They are brand new but do not fit over the Hardbar so I made my own.

$289 w/ free shipping is a great price for that seat with cover. I'm probably going to order one for my C5 as well. Now I need to know how to mount it in the car.

I have two Ultra-Shields



and made my own back braces out of angle boxed steel from Lowe's $25

Do you guys think this seat is better than the one above. Not a lot of difference other than the hump under your thighs that I see. Only $10.00 more at SPS Solotime. They are local for me so I am going over and test sit it and a Corbeau.

I have the Pro Road Race as the passenger seat and the Deluxe Pro Road Race for my drivers set.

Difference ? not much. I have to put additional padding under my knees ( under the seat bottom cushion.

Thanks Tom,
I hope to have them in by the NCM event at Road America provided I can click fast enough to register for it. You think the Hard Bar mount is the best? Do you really need the brace for the seat back? Do you have a close up of how yours mount to the actual seat back?

The back brace is so strong, that when I grab my seat and shake it side to side, the whole car shakes.

Give me a day and I will get a close up pic

I Have 1 Hardbar Seat Mount For Sale For $239 If Anyone Needs One.

One thing to consider is the amount of layback you want. I went with the Ultrashield and a 20 degree layback. I wish I would have gone with a 10 degree layback. The seat has to be mounted so you can get in and out of the car past the steering wheel, for me that means sitting on the side of the seat with one side against the seat bolster and the other against the steering wheel. Then I pick up my legs and pivot into the seat. Once into the seat this leaves me with a bit more reach than I would like. Somebody suggested that I probably should cut down the side of the seat so I can raise it and rotate it forward just enough to make myself comfortable when driving.

Did you ever buy this seat?

BTW, the Hardbar seat rails will work with any side mount seat that fits in the car. They are fully adjustable (in a bolt-in way) and as compared to any slider they will give you 3-6 inches of headroom. We can even fit a big biy Sparco Evo3!
