[QUOTE="Jeff Furrier, post: 717935, member: 14301"] A good quality suspension seat is fine in lower speed recreational vehicles if the seatbelts are set up correctly. Higher speeds mean higher G forces impacts, so being restrained with minimal movement. PRP and Mastercraft build a good suspension seat for recreational use. A set of SFI approved belts that are set up properly, should come loose to the point where they are unmanageable to keep tight. One of the reasons belts come loose is when they are pulling down on your shoulders, every time you hit a bump you bounce against them they slowly will start to come loose. If your shoulder belts pull you back, the constant forces from beating around in an off road car are much less. One thing that works for me is to loosen your belts before you take them off so the adjusters to create a kink in the belt that you constantly have to fight when putting them on. You have to loosen them when you get in anyways, just do it before you get out. A belt that sits for days, weeks, months is a PITA to move as we all know. Also, using an air hose to clean the belts is way better than water. Water and dirt packs the material up and makes it stiff. [/QUOTE]
