Greetings.
I have a bone to pick with the OEM seats and seatbelt. I'm actually considering selling the car for this reason.
So I own the non Recaro premium seats. The problem is it puts me in a very high position. And I have it down to minimum. The seatbelt problem is that after 2-3 hours of driving, my left shoulders starts crying and wishes it just dies already. The belt pulls me down and it's hurting me.
I decided to try and fix this with some bucket seats and a harness. I don't plan on adding a harness bar. I saw a member adding a Schroth Quickfit harness and instead of using the designated mounting points in the back, he used the Isofix bolts under the cushion. I also saw another member using Corbeau bucket seats.
I have a few questions if anyone can help before I pull the trigger.
1) Considering Schroth Quickfit uses the rear seatbelt mounting points, but someone used the Isofix to do it, means I don't have to buy the Quickfit in order to fit a belt without harness bar, right? I want to buy Schroth Rallye ASM4 and use the same Isofix points and when someone needs to sit behind me, just detach the harness and use the stock belt.
2) I want to buy the harness first and see how it fares before buying seats. The Quickfit can be used with stock seats, so I guess Rallye can also, right? Just put the belt between the headrest pillars.
3) I'm considering Corbeau FX1 Pro or RRX(semi bucket seat). Do any of you have experiences with them? How much lower will my stance get if I use a bucket seat compared to the stock one?
Also if you have other comfy, but sporty recommendations, shoot away.
4) Bucket seats are not reclinable... I will use a sliding bracket for them, but will they slide forward enough so the back seat user can get in? I know it's a tough question, but maybe someone here had a coupe with bucket seats and tried it.
Thank you very much for the help.
Kind regards.
