[QUOTE="wizzo, post: 461408, member: 125"] [b]Re: Seats - Suspension Verses Tub[/b] Imo, you just don't see kirkey's in ultra 4 and desert racing for a reason. They have their place and work great where they are intended. I have some prp podiums. They are night and day better than any other seat I have sat in. When I ran ecors they were noticeably more comfortable than the corbeau seats I had before. But I'm seeing alot of ultra4 racers going to those sparco seats, healy, miller, chicky had them in his ifs, napier, etc. Probably worth looking into for your specific needs. For a suspension seat to work properly, I think you need 3 plus inches under the seat for movement. Another thing to look at is your shoulder harness mounts. They need to be at YOUR shoulder level or slightly above. Anything below will compress your back when tight. I also run prp 5.3's with pull up lap belts. Once I got my prp seats and harness mounting right, I prefer having them sinched tight at all times. [/QUOTE]
