Ive heard stories of JDM Recaros not being all that comfortable if your a bigger or taller person. Is this true? The reason is im planning on joining the GB on Recaro SRD's which fit a little better for taller/bigger ppl, or am i incorrect? Any info appreciated. Thanks.

 

There are a tight squeeze but not to bad. I am 6'4" and heavy (250+ pound ish there is a poor pic of me looking at my car https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=384999 its not great but you should be able to see how bif Iam). I have noticed with mine that the passenger seat seems a little bigger than the drivers seat so if you mount them the otherway round it would be a better fit.

 

So should i be more concerned with my height or how big i am when sitting in the JDM recaros? im pretty tall, just not that big

 

Well, JDM Recaros were made for originally for Japanese or u may say Asian fit person and I am only 5'5 so for me is perfect fit. If u are taller and much wider person like one of my American coworker, he did complain of too tight fit because he is 6'2 with wide shoulders. I think its better for u to try universal SRD's because its made for mass market and u can demo them easily at avaliable dealers before u spending on something expensive which u can't try at first hand.
If u are just tall, maybe u should spend the extra on a set of Vision lower seat rails which may drop the seat by almost an inch but don't quote me.

Im 5'9 140lbs, and my recaros fit me perfect.. most people larger then me dont like them "they sqeeze my nuts"..

sorry bad pic.. and no i dont sit that close

 

Height wise I have not probs in the seat. (6'4")

 

I'm 5'10, 180, and I love the JDM recaro's in my car. The biggest complaints seem to come from women. The base of the seat isn't wide enough for their hips, and the opening for a harness is right at the height of their heads...

I wouldn't trade them for anything. I really can't wait to get back to the track with them!

 

i dont like them i would own a set if i felt comfortable in them, im about 6'4 260lbs though,ive also heard of people smaller then me says they dont like them, i guess its all about how you fell comfortable if i were you id find somone else with them an sit in them first .
