Default Racing seats and harnesses

I am planning to use my '06 Z06 on the track and want to know if anyone has any experience and suggestions for racing seat and seat rail installation. I understand that there are some wiring issues that need to be addressed. Also, any information on anchor points and harness installation would be most helpful.

Contact Vetteworks for the wiring pieces, and harness hardware. You'll need a harness bar, I had one custom fabbed. If you trade out the passenger seat, you might run into issues with the occupancy sensor - I still haven't gotten mine figured out. Beyond that, it's simple and definitely worth it.

I had a custom seat bracket fab'd up for me and installed the Cobra Sebring Technology seat...the driving experience is VERY DIFFERENT. #WORTHIT , You should call Bobby or Anthony at LG Motorsports and get the harness bar etc. Then pick out your seat...

both...we had to take some padding out of the right side. The window barely touches it when you close the door. I would say a perfect fit for sure
