i'm looking into buying a sparco sprint seat for my 91 crx. i dont have a cage, and i wouldnt be running harness's. i autocross a few times a month, and dont do any road racing. i know that stock seats are designed in a way that makes them safe. bascailly i want to know if by putting this sparco seat into my car will i be sacrificing my saftey in any way? sorry if this sounds lame, i'm just concerned with driving a safe car on the streets.
thanks for any replies, and have a good one.

You just don't want to use a seat with thigh bolsters that also have harness slots. They will tend to push the seatbelt away from your body. You want a seat that allows the seatbelt to rest against you, like a Sparco Torino or Recaro SRD, if you aren't going to use a rollbar and harness.

so you wouldnt reccomend getting a seat like the sprint unless i have a cage+harness setup?

 

That's right.

Just disconnect the lap belts & run them thru the harness slots before reconnecting them. Lap belts tight against the body. No biggie.

 

thanks for the replies guys. anyone else have some input?

 

Not saying this is right or wrong, just an idea a friend did. what do ya think?
