Car Seats

Car racing seats have safety car seat belts and multiple types of harnesses which help protect the driver. These car seats are made from strong materials and are very lightweight. Racing seats also provide the driver added support and protection from car accidents. The following is a general guide to install racing seats into your car. We only provide these instructions to give you an idea of what you will need to do in order to install the race seats. We highly recommend that you have your racing seats installed by a professional experienced in aftermarket racing seat installation.

Removing Your Existing Stock Seats. Start with your driver side first and locate the four bolts that hold the car seat in, two up front and two in back. Starting with the rear two bolts of the car seat, remove the plastic covers over them and remove the car seat bolts. Be sure to recline the car seat so it is in an upright position and the weight is evenly distributed, so when you remove the front bolts of the seat it won't fall on top of you. After removing the front two bolts, gently lean the whole car seat onto it's back and undo all of the remaining connections to it by locating the seat belt wire attached to the female end of the seat belt socket. You will also want to undo any electrical wires that were connected to the original stock seat. The most convinient way to remove the car seats is to roll it onto its side so it makes an "L" and swing the car seat out following with the back of the chair until it is completely out of the car. With the car seat out of the car, look on the side where the cart seat belt receiver is. There is a plastic cover that you'll need to remove with a phillips screw driver, with one screw in front and one in back. With it removed, you'll see a bolt attaching the seatbelt to the seat. Remove this bolt. Now that you have the bolt off, put the plastic part back on. Installing Your New Racing Seats. Assemble your racing seat brackets and sliders if they did not already come assembled. The pieces are made to face in a specific direction so don't install them backwards. Remember racing seat sliders have to face forward for your seat to move. The aftermarket racing seat bracket will have holes for the racing seat belt receiver, so screw it in. You may need to remove some of the thick spacers so the racing seat will fit into your car, but do not remove them if you have room for them. Attach the aftermarket racing seat bracket to your race seat before placing it into the car. Test fit and see if you like the height of the seat, adjust accordingly if you can. Don't be surprised if your new seat brackets that you ordered for your race seat do not fit the existing holes. This is very common because these seats are made to fit several makes of vehicles and not specifically to any one kind. Just make new ones after the test fitting. If you have a race seat harness, attach the belts to them. Not every race seat bracket is made the same. Attach the front bolts in loosely, then try to put in the rears. Use a hammer if you have to so the race seat bracket holes will line up. Just don't damage the bracket. Securely tighten all of the bolts to the car. If you installed sliders and you can not slide the racing seat freely, check how you assembled it and reinstall it.
