i posted this in autox and roadracing and haven't gotten any responses. hopefully i'll get some help in here.

i'm in the market for a bucket seat. right now it's a toss up between a recaro spg, recaro pole position or a bride zeta 3 sport. there is no one around me (that i know of) that has any decent bucket seats that i can sit in before purchasing so i'm looking for first hand info. i'm about 5'11" 200lbs, 34-36in waist. anyone with similar dimensions thats used either of the seats, let me hear your experiences. will be used for some daily driving and autox. i want something that's relatively comfy, holds good, won't fall apart under normal wear, and won't disintegrate in an accident...
also any recommendations on brackets/sliders that are worth looking at...
thanks


edit: added recaro spg

come on, someone has to know something

 

looking to buy a seat really soon so any info would be great

 

Sparco Evo 2, or 3 is your best bet. Designed for people over 200lbs.

 

thanks for the response, but i'd like opinions on the seats i named above..

 

anybody..................*hears echo*

 

did you check if there is a recaro dealer in your area?

usually they have a showroom wher you can check them out..

I tested out some seats before settling on my dc5r's back in the day.

 

spg and bride are out of the question the pole position will be snug for you I think it would work out

thanks for the comments but i hate getting info like this, more than a few people say i'll fit then someone else says i won't. a few people have told me that the pole position will be huge and the spg will be perfect. i wish there was a showroom near here it would make this a lot easier

 

why not some memoryfab seats?...pretty comfy, and the price isnt bad at all

oh...well ppl that i know that have had experiences with them have had nothing but good words...but i guess everyone has their own preferences, and **** happens sometimes with products

 

I'm an SPG owner and i'm 6'2" 160 and the SPG is very snug for me, pole position or Sparco Evo 2 is your best bet

 

thanks for all the replies, i'm going with a pole position. if it's a little big i'll just have to live with it.
