Do not use suspension seats with webbing. You will regret it.

I would do some research and you will discover a shell type seat is far better for your back and body than a suspension seat. The SCORE series Trophy trucks are all running Sparco or equivalent type of seats.

If you opt for a suspension system that adopts a base hydraulic mechanism than that is completely different. In that application the weight will kill you in a small cat.

That's what I was going to say.
I have been using Corbeau suspension seats in my one boat for almost a decade now. They are the most comfortable boats (really Jeep) seats I have ever been in. And I don't treat them or the boat like they are in a show car or something and they have never split or hold water and still look great.
