Replacing seats in M2C
The stock seats are not keeping my upper torso in place when driving on the track. I'm currently shopping around for a set Recaro or Bride that can recline for comfortability. Are there any write ups or suggestions to avoid any issues when unplugging the stock seat connections at install?

If you're disconnecting any components related to the airbag system or belt latches, you'll get an airbag light and check control messages. It can be managed correctly with custom coding. I've done it many times for race cars.

I want to purchase seats from AMX Performance in the future.
Anyone used them before?

Installed set of Recaros. Now I’m looking for seat belt mounts to keep the stock belts and also have racing 5pt harness. Any ideas how to securely mount both on inward side of the seat?

Same. I don’t want the belt receptacle digging into my leg. I think may work for some but I am a big dude so I don’t want to buy it and find out. For this reason thinking of maybe just getting a cobra nogaro

I went to HMS Motorsports to figure out the right mounts and seat rails. Definitely worth talking to them before buying anything. Cobra also offers a seat bladder that you can put behind your back for lumbar support. |

I was able to find everything I need to install my Recaros and still be able to use the stock seat belt and harness (for the track). Still need to code out the seat belt and seat air bag codes.
Floor Mounts (these plates give plenty of mounting options for the harness brackets) https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac...-m2-p4789.aspx Factory Seat belt adapter (more slender compared to stock one) https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac...kit-p2072.aspx Brackets for mounting the Harness side belts https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac...kit-p2303.aspx Bracket for mounting Anti-Sub belt https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac...ket-p2106.aspx |
