Those look great in there. I did notice one thing though, they don't have a seatbelt loop for shoulder belts. I wonder how hard it would be to add one. Also, do they have a release that lets them fold forward like stock seats, so you can get in the rear seats?

as far as the seat belt loop goes, i don't know how you'd get that screwed/installed on them. Mine came with the releases for them to fold forward but i don't even know if they work because i got an 8pt cage and no rear seats, so never had to use them.

I've wanted those, but have never been willing to shell out $400 for a pair of something I can't sit in, nor know of anyone's opinions of them.
Good for a DRIVER car or TRACK?

Stephen, you definitely know you're not sitting on a piece of sponge....not saying they're overly hard, they just have great support comparable to the overpriced brand name ones, but for a TRUE daily driver, the feel will get old i think.

Have had the seat for a couple of years. I like them alot. It was a little tricky getting them properly fitted. Good value for the money.

Re: Anyone have summit sport seats?
when you put those in did you use 3rd or 4th gen brackets. ive been hearing that the 4th gen brackets drop you down and inch or so.

Re: Anyone have summit sport seats?
I'd suggest ordering them with 4th gen brackets.
