    I'm getting either a Rotora Big Break Kit for my srt-4 or a set of ITR recaro's. Which should I do.

    Keep in mind the Recaros need custom sliders and rails and only become useful when I can get a harness bar and a pair of takatas which is another 1200 bucks right there. Where as the Rotora kit would be ~1400

    Thoughts? :)

    i personally would get the BBK
    and buy inserts for the stock seats

    do you know how to make you stock seat belt like a harness???

    put the seat where you want it
    then recline it back 2-3 clicks.
    put the seat belt on.
    pull it tight
    then yank it to lock it.
    sit foward and recline it back foward to secure you in.


    it works i used it before i ever put a harness in my car.
    and it worked great while riding in my wifes Cavailer on the Road course i never bought a harness for the passanger side because i knew how to lock it.

    BBK's first.

    Do the seats and harness when you have 100% of what you need.

    Make it stop!

    Better brakes = carrying more speed deeper into your braking zone .

    Hell, when I auto-x'ed my GT PT Cruiser, I used to roll up a packing blanket and stick it between my leg and the door panel, plus do the "poor man's harness" trick that Nev talked about. I never fell out of the car:).

    BTW, look into Corbeau seats, much cheaper, IMO just as good lateral support.
