5 point harness

This may be a silly question, but does anyone make a 5 point harness compatible seat that will recline?

No...because chances are you have to install a harness bar or roll cage that will prevent you from reclining the seat too far.....Any point harness will have to be drawn around some form of bar behind the front seats, so you might be able to lean the seat a little bit, but not in gangsta lean position.
IMO....if you are asking about reclining in a 5 point harness..it seems to me that you don't really need them....I don't mean this in a douchebag way.

Good luck

No, the my needs are for a daily driver with the occasional track day and I was thinking about seats and a 5 point harnesses for safety on the track. The recline was only the small amount that was needed between different people driving the car. Thanks for your help.

Check out the Sparco Milano. If any reclining seat will have a 5th point slot, that's the one.

May also check out Bride if you are real skinny . . .

Also, I believe you can run a 6-point harness without a crotch slot in the seat . . .

If your thinking about needing to recline your seats, your probably over 130lbs (I know I am), if that is the case, steer clear of Bride. They look great but they are for very small framed people. I suppose an average size could fit really snug.

Thanks for the advice. Anyone know of someone who stocks seats, especially Sparco in the Los Angeles area? I have been to a couple of the stores listed on Sparco's directory and they had very little in stock to try.
