I would also not recommend any recliner seat for a track-specific build. Ideally, an FIA approved seat that correctly fits the drivers' physique, has lateral head support, of course proper 6-point pass-through holes, bolted directly to the chassis and/or roll cage. Something like a Sparco Pro-ADV. |
Everything's a compromise.
I have been using DS2500 in my current car as a dd and for trackdays without issue; admittedly my current car only weighs 1080 kgs with me in the car. I am assuming the pads in the FRS/86 have a larger surface area so can cope with the extra 200kgs. This remains to be seen. I wouldn't be suprised if i do have to upgrade but then increased disc wear may be an issue.
I have a cobra suzuka seat in my current car and it is the best performance mod i have made to the car but it was an issue to get the seat approved for registration and using the standard 3 point seat belt is not ideal. The Misano has been approved to ADR 3 and given it's a recliner makes the use of 3 point belt straight forward.
As i said in my 1st post in this thread this will be my dd. I apologise for going off topic.
