Default Question about seats and size (of person)...

Are there any bucket seats that will fit a 5'11", 220lb, 36"ish waist guy besides the Sparco Evo 2?

Chris you're a fatass

Wait for some other fatasses on the east coast to wake up, they'll help you. I'm built more like Jackie Chan so I can fit into anything

Hey man, What's wrong with the Evo 2's? I got one in my house at the dining room table. Those are the most coomfortable chairs out there. Well I don't know about out there. But it's one of them anyways. You could worry less about the chairs and maybe get a pass at the gym for a year! 8)

MOMO NASCAR or possbly MOMO ACROPOLIS.

Ask AdamITR about MOMO NASCAR... he has it on his track car and he's tall (6"+, 200lbs +, I think). I have MOMO 1000 Lakes and I'm 5'11", 180lbs, 32" waist. (MOMO ACROPOLIS is for over 180lbs.)

MOMO from me.

Default Re: Question about seats and size (Willard)

you could look into the evo 3, it's for the largest of gentlemen.

i'm 6' and 190lbs with 35" waist. i do a lot of weight in the gym, the evo 2 is the only seat to fit my *** and shoulders. you will not fit in any recaros, they are built for lilliputians like mr yoshi! i'm no expert, but i think outside of recaro, sparco, momo, and corbeau, you will find seats that are not quality built (tenzo r) or not as comfy for daily driving (kirkey, omp) or are just plain silly expensive (mugen, spoon).

OMP's can be daily driven... just like any other bucket seats. Just as Big Phat R. Kirkey is definitely a strret driving harzard.

Would the JDM or Recaro SRDs be an option for Reclinable with my size? Can I even add the Bride Zeta 2, or which ever one the large Bride is to my list?

The JDM recaros wont fit, but the regular SRDs *might* fit depending on how wide you are in the shoulders.

yshi - who recommends trying out as many diff seats as possible before buying one

I was under the impression that the Spoon seats were for smaller guys like Yoshi! Should I even consider them or Brides?

I thought the SRDs (US) were smaller in the thigh area, as opposed to the (JDM ITR) SR3s which were a little more comfy for bigger folks. Chris, you've got the $$, so why don't you just get a set of yellow SR3's? that would be pretty nice.

Spoon seats seem really nice. From looking at magazines it looks comparable to the Mugen one.

Well I sat in US SRD's and there actually looser to me them my JDM ITR seats. My JDM seats are perfect for me all around and just right for my shoulders almost all US spec seats I sat in I feel there abit bigger but too tight in my shoulders.
I've got good bit of room in thigh areas and I'm 5'9 and half and around 179-180lbs with waist around 35-36 inch. I think they fit me good and considering I have thick thighs then most because I use to hipsled in my HS and part my college yrs 550+lbs on avg work out. Though I'm losing weight because I'm too fat right now I want to get down to 169-170lb range.

I am 6'0 235 lbs. 34 waist and 49 jacket. I had alot of trouble finding seats for my " FAT *** " as you guys put it so nicely. So I went with S2000's and NSX seats. And they are both almost Perfect. Nsx seats are the most comfortable in the world. And they are fairly in expensive. I found this set for 1500 and they have power. Just my .02 cents.
