...What racing seats I should get.
At first, I was looking at these Matrix Type X seats and I really liked them.

But then I was looking for better prices and I ran across these for about $50 more.

And then I looked a little more and found the same seats with blue/black instead of all black for the same price.

Im lost @ which ones to choose. But ive narrowed my choices down between these 3. Guys, help me out by telling me what you think
Thx! :)

I like the all black one, but if you want some blue, then i would go with the Matrix type X ones, they look better than the Viper black/blue ones...

You get what you pay for. I had a set of cheap racing seats.... never again!
They squeaked like a mofo, recliner function didn't work for shit. If your looking budget wise, i would start looking at something like Tenzo's which you can get a package deal for like $600ish shipped from Gravana. W/ brackets and sliders.
For another 100-200 if you can spare it look into Corbeau's .
I honestly don't think your going to like them bro.

Well I ordered the Matrix seats.
I heard from a friend that he ordered some Matrix seats and he loved them. Said they were really comfortable.
So next, should I order the Matrix 4-point harness w/ a regular belt lock

or a JDM 4-point harness w/ a camlock?

Do you know how to properly mount racing harness's? There is a RIGHT and WRONG way to do this. The Wrong way can result in being paralyzed for the rest of your life if you get into a front end collision. The correct and safest way to racing harnesses your looking at spending a few hundred dollars.
The shoulder belts should be from straight back to no more than 10 degrees down from the shoulders. This can be obtained by mounting a bar behind the seat off the B-pillars. Not some cheap bar but something thats going to stop you from moving forwards. This will still also create a problem if your ever in a roll over accident. The harnesses are designed to keep you in your seat, unlike factory which allow you to still move from side to side. To make a long story short and do this properly and safely, install a roll cage.

... and i'm done. For your own saftey, go with one of the above routes and don't just mount them to the floor under your seat without the use of a bar to cut the angle down.
