New for 2012 is the Ring GT-X from Status Racing. The Ring GT-X though looks the same at a glance, is different in many ways. The basic changes in this new seat is a combination of the Ring and Ring GT. The lower hip portion is the same size as the Ring GT for larger drivers but flared out on the thigh bolsters to accommodate even more space then the Ring GT. Its slight V shape still gives great support in the leg area but without compromising function. The top half of the Ring GT-X is basically the same as the Ring seat. This was done to accommodate fitment to cars where the Ring GT was to wide. Now with the narrower top, the seat can fit both larger drivers and in smaller tuner cars.

The Ring GT-X is part of the Standard and Icon series which is available in simple colors and materials, or fully configurable on our Status Icon seat configurator here. Knowing how important comfort is for driving, the seats include a contoured foam cushion as a standard feature as well as side bolster padding. Because this is a racing seat, abs plastic harness pass throughs are inserted to accommodate our 3 inch Status Racing Harness kits. Each Status seat features an aluminum logo name plate on the shell as a finishing touch.

Status Racing seats are made in the USA using high quality composite materials derived from our background in Military safety products. Each seat goes through our quality control inspections to make sure you get the most pristine product available. The seats do require separate purchase of side mounts, seat brackets, and sliders for your specific vehicle. Seats are sold individually. You can view more Status Racing seat photos on our official Gallery Here.

Those do look nice!

Too bad I just picked up some Ring seats. I like my seats, just can't gain any more weight!

 

They're your waist line correction device!

 

wow. those look supportive

 

They look sweet.

You spelled releases wrong, BTW

 

My Recaros are already "good enough" for the Evo, but I need a good lightweight seat with bolsters in the Sky. These looks promising. What do they weigh?

 

14 lbs for the seat itself. If you need anything lighter, let me know and we can talk about other options.

 

What waist size do these accommodate?

 

Up to 36" should fit. I wear a 34 or 36 depending on the brand, and I fit comfortably. If you've ever been in the OEM Evo 8 Recaros, it's about the same.
