Seat for 5 point mounting solution...
I posted the other day about not being happy with a Recaro SPG. My main reason for upgrading seats is so that I can run both shoulder harnesses and subbelt safely. What is another option for a comfortable seat that allows this? I am thinking of a non fixed back maybe. I want something that will not look gawdy in the interior, that fits the era of these cars. Thanks.

The Recaro Speed is a movable back and comes with a 5 point option. They are pretty nice units. I am getting a set for my car. i have a distributor that can cover them in leather (not available from Recaro) and cab use a deviating stich color for the Recaro logo, or just the seams...

I'll second the Speed reccomendation. They should fit the bill if you are looking for a softer back.
Only thing is that if the SPGs fit you well (remember this from your other post) the Speeds will feel quite a bit too wide. Even the SRDs with closer shoulder bracing were a bit wider than the SPGs.

I have not tried the lumbar pads yet. But another issue I have is doing gymnastics to get in and out. Right now I am trying to sell them for the right price. If I get the price I am looking for I will sell them, if not I am going to try the lumbar pad.

Whats the price? I could pass the word among my friends and see if any of them are looking.
Also which SPG version do you have? I know that one has much higher side bolsters (ie my drivers seat) while the other one isn't too bad (my passenger seat).
