Default Seat suggestions...



Okay, you see that fat son of a bitch on the far right? That's me. I fit into my S2000 just fine, except for I'm squishing the bottom side bolster on the driver side of my driver's seat, and I'm not into hurting the seats, so I'm thinking of getting a driver's seat that will 1.)Hold my *** in place, and 2.)Replace the driver's seat so I'm not damaging it with my husky legs.

Please, show me a seat for my S2000 that's gonna fit me comfortably. (i.e. NOT a Recaro SRD, those are for skinny people only.)

Thanks in advance!!!

yeah SRD hugged me tight and im a 32" waist.

A company that no one really knows of is memory fab. they have 2 bucket seat models the s58 and s68. the s68 can fit a waist of 38" and comes in CF and carbon kevlar. i'm picking up the s58 soon.

Those are really affordable for what they're made of! Are they anything like the Buddy CLub seats? They look pretty similar.

yeah and they crash test them too. It goes to show that you're basically paying for the name when you buy JDM. The s68 resembles the Mugen S1 bucket, and the s58 seems sort of buddy club i guess.

Memory Fab s68 as mentioned, or Mugen S1-R wide. Run away from Brides, except the Gias.

Why does that interior look funny? Factory roll bars, hardtop c/f, but larger window and defroster?

Oh, and I found another recaro model in a 2K that's in a mig right now, it looks like they are the evo seats, but in different colors/materials...prolly just ordered them direct from recaro, but they look very nice in the car, and I already know that evo seats fit me comfortably, so I'm gonna research it some more.

Buddy Club has a wide version.

The top by shoulders is 330mm (13") across.
The middle above the waste is 291mm (11.5") across.
The bottom bolsters are 415 (16.5") across.

if you're asking why the rear window is larger, it's because that is an amuse hardtop.
