Default Hans vs Halo seat

Excluding monetary considerations if you could only choose one which one would be more important in terms improving safety?

I would think the Hans would be best. Is this right? I will eventually do both but I'm not sure I want to do all of this at one time.

I currently have a Euro GT3 seat. Yes, it's uncomfortable now and will get worse with the Hans.

thx.

With HANS, helmet and GT3 seats I found I was pitched too upright. I installed the Brey Kraus brackets which allows the rear of the seat to be dropped about an inch and everything is just fine. Get the HANS

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback.

Is it a straight swap to the Brey Kraus brackets from OEM ?

I drilled a new hole in the seat itself under the original in the back of the seat. Works great.

Measure twice drill once. Ask me how i know.

It was for the GT3 seats I bought from Suncoast Porsche. I would assume it would be the same for euro version. I honestly don't know the difference between the two.

Brey Krause should know.
