Keep Your Butt Planted

Nothing improves the feel of high-performance driving like a high-quality racing seat. We’ve all heard the clichÉ “driving by the seat of your pants,” but when you’re driving aggressively through corners, it really is important that you stay planted in your seat. You’ll be better able to feel the suspension response, because braking, steering and acceleration input are felt through your butt, hips and hands. A snug fit with aggressive shoulder, hip and leg bolsters will keep you in a comfortable driving position so that you can focus on the road ahead and feel your car’s every move.

PROCAR by SCAT manufactures high-quality performance seats for your pro-touring, autocross, muscle car, street rod, truck or SUV. There are many types of seats available: Rally, Rally Smoothback, Rally Lowback, Elite Lumbar, Pro-90, Pro-90 Lowback, Classic Lowback, Sportsman-1605, Sportsman-1606, Sportsman Pro, Evolution, Rave, Xtreme, Terrain, Drifter and Pro-sport.

PROCAR also offers new Evolution Suspension Seats made specifically for Corvette, Camaro, Mustang and Challenger. These durable seats are constructed with a tubular frame and a carbon fiber sport design with high head support and tall shoulder, hip and leg bolsters.

We visited V’s Performance in Orange, California, to follow the installation of a pair of PROCAR by SCAT Evolution performance seats. Check it out!

6. The seats are covered in durable vinyl with a padded, breathable insert and double stitching. If you aren’t using a racing lap belt, an optional lap belt latch is securely affixed to the mounting bracket. An easy-to-reach seat adjustment lever allows you to position the seat exactly where you want it. The seat back is supported by a reinforced molded carbon fiber overlay.
