Default Seats for a bigger person.

Hey guys I am looking for some seats and really need some input before i spend a couple of thousand dollars. I figured I would post here since you guys in the turns would know most about seats although i dont autox/road race.

First and most important is I am not going to be able to test out any of these seats. No shops around me carry anything nevermind have a shop to sit in a seat.

I am looking for a seat that I can daily drive and use at the track. I drag race but would like a nice seat that holds me in. Doesnt have to be crazy supportive like a road race seat though.

The only real requirements i must have is that the seat reclines. No non reclinable seats. Also the seat MUST be stock height or lower. It CAN NOT be any higher at all. I already have a little trouble with the stock seats and a helmet. Now I drive a 91 CRX Si. I LOVE the stock seats. They are great and fit me great but i would like something obviously nicer, and a little more supportive. Not really that much. I have autocrossed my other CRX and the seats are great. I would love to know the measurments of that seat because the size is great. As for some other seats I have sat in they are rsx seats (dont really like), s2000 seats (dont really like), del sol seats (there okay at best), toyota celica seats (dont really like), 99-00 civic si seats (horrible), and crx si seats (great).

I am looking at seats like the Recaro SRD or JDM ITR Recaros, Bride Brix 2, Bride XAX 2 ect...

Which of these are the biggest and most comfortable. Those are the style of seats i am looking at so if you have any recomendations please let me know.

So what it all comes down to is a seat that fits and feels like a stock crx si seat but is nicer looking and more supportive.

Thanks

go with corbeau FX1 or FX1 wide
if you have over 44" waist might want the FX1 wide. that thing is very

these are fiberglass seats, pretty light, very inexpensive. don't see a reason to spend 3 times as much money on some Bride or Recaro.
