Default Seat Recs?

I am looking for a bucket seat(obviously). I have an extremely skinny stature and I slip and slide around in my ITR stocker. My budget is about $550+-, and so far I have looked at the Sparco Evo as it would tend to be for skinnier people.

And of crouse, I will be running a roll bar. Most likely an AP 4pt.

Harness suggestions?

My car is tracked at most once a month except during the winter season. So keep comofort in mind with the seat suggestion, because my car is daily driven.

I am sure the topic has been beaten to death, and I did do search and read almost all the threads. Thanks for your input though!

I have Corbeau Forzas and they hold me in quite well. I am of the slim persuasion also so I fit right in. I like them. Did you mean $500/seat, or total budget? Forzas are only $220 each.

The EVO line is comfortable IMO. I'm larger and use an EVO2, but it's more comfortable than the stock civic seats that it replaced.

It would be to your advantage to find a race supply shop and try a few out before making a decision.

How about the OMP seats? Are they fairly comfortable and able to fit a skinny stature?

Looking at the OMP ARS and the OMP WRC Fibra. How do those compare to the Evo?

Most of the reputable fiberglass shell seats are reasonable comfortable for short/medium drives. Like someone saidd, you probably should find a local retail shop and sit in a few. I've noticed the Sparco Evos are too tight around the hip for me; my Momo Rookie fits much better.
