So ~2800 total. HMS gave me a reasonable discount on each seat and basically free shipping, which probably brought it closer to 2400 than 2200, apologies.
Cobra is nice in that they'll do the upholstery work for you, so I supplied the material and they did everything on their factory lines. They'll add seat heaters if you want (I regret not adding them, especially since I'm moving to a colder climate), as well as an inflatable lumbar support (haven't felt the need for this yet).
I left the three points in, they work perfectly with the seats. I'm a 32" waist and the belts aren't caught on the seat at all. I can grab some photos when the light is better.
The four points are Schroth QuickFit pros ( https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/quickfit-pro).
The back seats aren't super accessible--kids likely wouldn't be a problem (I don't have any so I can't really test this), but adults of any reasonable size basically need to shimmy in from the bottom and pop up. It won't really work in a tight parking space, for instance. I've heard the manual sliders have a little more room, though I don't know if it's the case. In any event, I treat my car like a two-seater with more than average trunk capacity. |
Dude thanks so much for the info!!! I have been researching this since I saw @Obioban post.
I am a 30-32" in waist and its great to hear the belts don't catch.
I also planned to use the Brey Krause seat fitting kit.
Based on your observation I may just swap one seat for now.
PS cobra can make you another center section with seat heaters built in. I was planing on doing so in order to be able to use a 5/6pt harness. The harness would need to go through the seat heating mat otherwise which is not possible.
Trying it out this afternoon hope its snug.
