Angle of Seat Back:
We carry 2
different degrees of angles on the seat back.We carry seats that have a standard layback or an additional 3 degree
more layback of the seat.The three
degree more layback of the seat lowers the drivers center of gravity (frees up
the chassis) and reduces wind drag on the taller drivers.
