Racing seats for Matrix

Props to all of y'all who've given their 2 cents in my other threads, I'll be sure to post pics of my mods as soon as they're complete.

My next Q is, has anyone installed any aftermarket racing style seats?

Which ones are we using, and how much, if any, modification is necessary for fit and function?

Also, are any of them easily adjustable for back position? All that I've seen so far ratchet 1 notch at a time, forward or backward.

Thanx.

Your Trix is nice and all but I don't see any racing seats.

Xdog, I recall one guy who rally'd his Trix and put in Sparco's in the front. I'm not sure if he did the rears though. I'll see if I can dig up the pix.

not unless you take the stock bottoms and the aftermarket back and do some welding!
