So I have been debating which fixed back seat to go with. The amount of options has made my head spin. I have tried a couple of seats and like them but when it comes down to chosing one I'm stuck. I know for sure nothing in the Recaro line up fits me well and the Evo2 doesn't either. I tried the Pro2k and even though its a snug fit, it was still confortable. I really like the Cobra line up, especially the Suzuka. Can anyone comment on there quality, they don't seem to be very popular here in the US probably becasue lack of marketing.
Any input would be appreciated.
Btw I'm 6'2 210lbs

I use the Suzuka GT (GT=wide) and it fits me very well (6'1 240). I sat in the Evo 2 but I did not fit as well as I do in the Cobra. Sparco does makes something wider than the Evo 2 (not available when I bought my seat) that could be better suited to your build.
I have had the seat for about a year and a half with no quality problems or concerns.

I was interested in cobra's Imola 2 seat for a while, but when I sat in it at sema, it squeezed my *** really hard (I'm 6'-1" 190lbs small ***).
I didn't try the seat your interested in though.

I'm the same size and I actually have a Corebeau Fx1 that fits me quite comfortably if you want to buy it its never been used and I have a Sparco bracket, Pm me if you are intrested

Actually I found theEVO2 was a little to large for me. Anyone else intrested in buying some Cobra seats, maybe we can find a vendor willing to give us a discount if we buy at the same time.
ive been told that recaro and cobra's quialty are at the same level and for that one reason im also considering one over a sparco evo2. I'm also 6'1 and 240 but fit in the evo 2 nicely imo go and sit in the seat everyone is different in how they are shaped and what is and is not comfortable to them

I like cobras and currently own 2; the monaco ( a low end) and the imola 2 GT (higher end) and have nothing but praise for the Imola 2 GT; it's ligher, stonger and less money than a comprable Sparco or Recaro and offers equal comfort. I like Cobras b/c they use kevlar construction v. fiberglass, which makes the seats lighter and stronger than a similar moder from a competitor.
I'm 6'2" and 210 with broad shoulders and the Imola 2 GT fits me perfectly.

The regular Imola 2 or Suzuka would probably fit you well. The GT sizing, gives an added 50mm.
