Seats for spec boxster for tall folks

[jonasjmac]

I checked with precision chassisworks and they stopped making that floor mount several years ago, due to lack of spec boxster interest. No one carries the sparco nearby, I do like that they have the hans compatible removable on the ergo, Steve do you use the profi xl with hans?

I use it with a Necksgen. The first time I used it, it was hitting my helmet so I performed an adjustment (it has 4 adjustment settings on the back) to move it one notch away from the helmet to resolve the helmet hitting. Hopefully that didn't put it into the seat... I haven't done another track day since making that adjustment. But it definitely wasn't in the seat the first time I used it.

I think many seats are compatible with HANS, I think it is a matter of making sure you get the right angle for the HANS (HANS brand, not the acronym) to match the angle of your seat back, I believe there are several different angles available. I don't have that brand so I may be mistaken.

This is my favorite racing seat line. High build quality and they fit well. They probably don't fit everyone well but most who ride in my car like em. For track duty only I recommend a full containment seat.

I have seen that base but didn't know it was $595. It looks very nice. The Profi XL fir sale on RL has that base, I guess that's why it is $1500.

If you are planning on PCA racing with the car I am not sure the GMG bracket would be legal as I believe the sub anchors need to be mounted to the chassis.

The key to sitting lower in the car are the seat mounts and sliders, not the seat itself. I found I had to modify the side plates so the seat could be mounted lower, and use recaro sliders rather than factory. As mentioned above, no sliders would be even better.

Went to HMS motorsports outside of Charlotte and sat in all the seats they had, the owner was super nice, knowledgable. Ended up with Cobra Sebring pro-fit. Now just to get them installed. Brings me to next question.
Is there a harness bar, that is made for boxster. Probably be running a few events before I can get the full cage in. Seems like if no harness bar, no harnesses, no seats, as the 3 point restraint won't work with the cobras.
