I seem to recall this being discussed previously, but you can't search for 4G and "seats" brings up hundreds of hits.
I walked by a 4G convertible with the top down the other day. The bottom part of the front seats look identical - same recline lever, same plastic covers for the retaining bolts, etc. Has anyone seriously looked into the 4G seats, or have ready access to a 4G car? The 3G seats suck, particularly during trackdays and auto-X. Even with a 4pt harness I am sliding around on the seat and trying to brace myself against the door.
I figure the 4G seats might have some benefits, particularly if they are a direct bolt in. The seats are actually DOT tested, I could match the leather interior, I could possibly keep the side airbags, etc. I can get both front seats for ~$400 from nearby junkyard parts places. I would rather do that than jury rig some e-bay POS that probably hasn't been tested at 100+mph.
Can anyone bring any tech?
