The Recaro's that I have are very solidly constructed. I took a look at the Corbeau site and 25+/- pounds each is not much structure.
I took one heck of a tumble at better then 150 with good belts in a Corbeau seat.... The seat stayed together and I stayed in the belts!!!! It'd have to be a Recaro race seat with the belt cutouts, got to have a 5 or 6 point (plus my beloved sternum belt) harness and I won't run with the belts coming over or around the seats.... Gotta remember, my idea of a "fun cruise" starts in the mid 9's @ 140!!!!! (Then replace the slicks with some Hoosier DOT slicks, slip on the collector mufflers and call it a street car!!!!)
