New seats
Pictures of my new Kirkey pro drag seats. The seats weigh 15 lbs each vs the stock seats which weigh a total of 70 lbs. The 40 lb difference hopefully will make the car faster. More importantly, the belts now go through the back and seat. If the worse case scenario happends, I know I will be as safe as possible. The belts will not stretch and my head will not go through the lexan top.

Though the RR might have a bit more padding. (I suppose I might as well...)

I had them installed pretty much in the same position as the stock seat. I lowered it maybe 1/2" over stock to allow for more headroom. A 40 lb saving should make the car 4 hundreths faster. Not much, but every bit helps. Willie

Hi Brian, not bad. When you plop in from the side, you definitely want to slow it down a little. There is not much padding above the aluminum. Fit and finish is terrific. I got the 16" seats which fit me perfectly, 6', 174lbs. If you are bigger, 17" seats will fit in the car.
