[QUOTE="Jeff Furrier, post: 718164, member: 14301"] Open wheel road race cars have the seats laid back 40 degrees-ish, the belts mount to the tub directly behind the shoulder. The problem with most suspension seats s that the harness holes are rarely high enough and are usually just slots with no adjust-ability. Instead of thinking about a straight spine, think of it as an aligned spine.,,your spine is never really straight. The closest thing Ive worked with to a rock buggy would be Ultra 4's and other KOH vehicles, they are usually built in the the seat in the traditional upright position. I'm not sure I have understanding for the need to have the seat laid back in a buggy, but I know most seem to be set up like that...whats the advantage? I'm not trying to jam the hard shell seat deal down anyone's throat and I don't really consider it an opinion, its more science than anything and they are being used all over the world. Desert and short course racers were apprehensive at first as well, now the majority have switched over. If you want to use a suspension seat, use it but set the belts up properly. [/QUOTE]
