Belts through the back of stock seats are not gonna do you any good in a crash or rollover situation....the slots have to be supported inside the seat framework. If you crash or rollover....the belts will tear the seats until they get they get the straight angle to where they are mounted.....then you will be loose in the belts...bad scenario. Even worse with the belts around the outside of Camaro seats..I have BROAD shoulders and I bought seats with holes in the back for belts. DOnt ever skimp on safety.

I'm now looking into getting a seat I can take in and out when I want to race.

Is there a seat that has brackets for a 4th gen F body? The kirkley Pro street seat looks pretty good. But I don't see brackets to fit my car.

Procar and Corbeau make seat brackets for our cars.
