Testing… Testing… Testing is the way you learn how to make your car perform better.  ISP’s repeated testing and constant product improvements provide the best performing driver protection system.  The introduction of sled testing allows us to dynamically test the loads as seen in a real crash.  Implementing crash data recorders in IRL, NASCAR, NHRA and FIA has supplied us with a baseline of real world data for each incident.  Each incident is broken down into milliseconds allowing us to methodically dissect what actually occurred during the crash or incident.  With crash data in hand we can go to a high G test facility and re-enact any incident.  Using data to drive product improvement is what sets ISP ahead of all others in the industry.

All ISP products benefit from our testing and design methodology.  Our products are designed with a thorough understanding of loads your body will experience during an impact.  We benefit from knowing how your body reacts to certain loads and what percentages of your mass will be exerted in specific areas of the system.  A 215-pound person in a 70G incident can create forces over 15,000 pounds for a fraction of a second.  ISP addresses each zone of the system with a combination of structural design and energy absorbing foams.  Not all foams are equal we utilize many variations and densities depending on the specific application all of our foams have specific rebound rates.  A superior performing foam will have the ability to reduce the amount of G’s while controlling the rebound velocity.  Reduced temperature sensitivity contribute to the consistent performance of foams during race temperatures.

ISP approaches seat design differently, we take into account the driver's frame size, weight, and build before recommending a seat. It is our experience a that a custom fit offers the driver the safest, most comfortable seat available.  We understand a seat built to protect a 5' 7", 150 lb. driver should be different from a seat built to protect a 6' 3", 250 lb. driver, and custom engineer all seats accordingly.

To date I have completed over 70 dynamic sled tests, none of my competitors have performed a fraction of this testing.  I have spent nearly 20 years engineering, building, and testing aluminum racing seats to ensure driver safety and comfort.  ISP is dedicated to understanding your requirements and what it takes to provide the custom "fingerprint" fit you desire in a seat.  We also offer a complete line of head restraints, leg and shoulder supports as well as all complementing hardware.  You can depend on ISP to keep you safe and comfortable.
