Yes, too low, they should be going straight back and coming through the seat at the top of the guide. Also look how far his shoulders are outside the seat, if that's how he looks when tightened in the seat the seat is too narrow and wont hold him in on any side motion. Anyone ever get arm pump...

I dont really know if its a problem or not, but 3.5" higher in the front is for sure laid back but but doesnt seem extreme. Maybe when Im hearing "laid back" Im assming its full lazy-boy style and not just tilted. The Sparco seats have different angles, some are noticeably straight up which can...

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...

It depends on if you fit the seat or not, if you fit it would probably be ok but the seat doesnt offer much side support. From what I see, you guys are bounced from side to side as much as you are up and down, so Id get a seat with some shoulder support. As far as t Why would they mounted at...

I never really thought to put the time into collecting any data on a suspension seat, the basic principles of the design don't really require that much thought. If you move up and down in your seat, you're belts are loose 1/2 the time in every movement. The chances of you taking your first hit...

Chris has for sure done his homework and knows what he's talking about for sure, but there's been extensive crash testing in any FIA or SFI spec seat. A 10 or 20g off road crash should be the same as a 10 or 20g road car crash, the main difference is in how they feel when you're not crashing. I...

Its been done, Mickey Thompson was doing it in the 70's. I think there's probably a way to do it ans we spent some time with short Fox Mountain bike shocks trying to come up with something but could never make make it work properly. The only time it would really work would be with vertical...

Dakar is sanctioned by the FIA, so the seats are required to be FIA approved. Sparco has a suspension style seat(Sprint) that was approved years ago, but I've never seen them in a racaecar or would I recommend them. There are no FIA approved US built suspension seats that Ive ever seen and I...

I watched a few videos, I can’t really tell but would speculate that the cross bar behind the seats which is 10 inches or so below his shoulders from the angle I saw. This is a problem if it where they are mounted. This is super common because that bar is the most obvious place to mount the...

If you're buying a headset and intercom system, understand that most systems are not stereo...if it matters to you.
