Default Racing seat? (curious about jegs or summit poly seats)

Im a little overwelmed with all the seat choices, mounting brackets, what works what dosent ect... I just want a driver seat to reduce weight. I want it cheap and lightweight.

Im liking the prices of the poly summit or jegs seats but can these be used without a rollbar?

I really like my Kirkey seat. Picked it up with the mounting brackets from Racecraft.

Ok, I think I read that with ANY aftermarket seat a brace off a rollbar is needed? Is this correct?

I have the Jegs GS highback 2's in my ride. They seem to be holding up fine, and I don't have a roll bar in my car.

Are you using stock seat belts? No harness? Is your track NHRA?

These are horrible pics but i have kirkey in mine and no bar and i used the pass side seat beacket with a lil fab work, i have also used the poly ones and i think they are a lil lighter, we know there cheaper but u set up kinda high in them at least i did in mine. I think the kirkey is a lil more comfortable beace the covers have a big piece of foam at the bottom i ran my polys with no covers
