The OMP RTS is a reclining sports seat in black leather. Part number HA0-0833-A01-071.
Leather is the reason to choose it. Most reclining sports seats at this level are vinyl or cloth, and in a car with a finished interior a leather seat looks like it belongs rather than like a part that has been fitted.
What it is
A steel framed reclining seat, base mount, four and six point harness compatible, and head and neck restraint friendly. Road and Track rated rather than FIA homologated, so it is a fast road seat and not a competition one. If the car is being scrutineered, tell us and we will point you at an approved shell.
The recline is the practical advantage over a fixed back. It works with the standard diagonal seatbelt as well as a harness, and it is a great deal easier to live with in a car that is still used on the road.
Fitting
Base mount, supplied as the seat only, so each side needs a vehicle specific sub-frame. Tell us the car and we will match one.
There is also an RTS frame and slider kit if you want fore and aft adjustment, and the same seat is built as an office chair if that is what you are after.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: The New OMP RTS Reclining Sport Seat – Now in Our Showroom for 2025, and Introducing the New OMP RTS Reclining Sports Seat for 2025. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 28in to 32in or 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is this seat FIA approved?
No, this is a road and track day seat rather than a homologated competition seat. For events that require an FIA seat, look at the FIA-approved shells in the range, and ask us if you are unsure what your series needs.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a base-mount seat: it bolts down through its base, the simpler stack for road cars. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible and 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
