Default SFWD: Matching seats for 135mph+ traps???

According to the rules for NHRA SFWD "2 matching fronts seats manditory". For you guys trapping 135+, are you buying 2 matching non-reclinable seats just to run the street legal class?? Dont want to have to sell my Recaro's, but reclinable's wont work for that speed.

P.S.
Any good seats out there for us big fellows?

so are you allowed to have reclinable seats for a trap speed of 135 or more or do you have to have a non-reclinable?

I can't seem to find in the rule book where it says you can't have a reclinable for 135+, could someone direct me where to look? I know of a few people who do run reclinables @ 135+

I might be smoking crack here (probably) but any car that runs 135+ needs a full cage anyway right? Well, with a cage isn't it mandatory to have the seat brace crossbar therefore making reclinable seats a moot point?
