tenzo Rs are tiny... i pop out of them, like my rib cage right below my arm pits kinda pops out... im like 5-10/11 and weigh about 160lbs.

the sparco evo IIs are a very comfy seat, but i slide around in them a little bit so im sure ur build could fit them perfectly. Check out the rest of the sparco seat line and find a seat that you like.

corbeau seats are cheap... do not get them. My friend has some of the torino knock offs and the fabric gets thin (hasn't torn.... yet). comfy seat by all means, but it's just not that great of quality as sparco.

here are the 2 sparco seats i have sat in and my opinions
here's your sparco pro 2000.

Bigger than the sparco speed, not a large amount, but big enough to feel. Every bit of this seat conforms to your body and for a fixed back seat is VERY comfortabl
here's your Evo 2

noticeable larger than the sparco speed. If you cannot fit in this seat, damn, you shouldn't be driving ur car, but jogging to ur destinations. An extremely comfortable seat with great support for ur back (i hate the seats that make ur back hurt because they are like straight 90 degree backs). Again, a very comfortable fixed back seat.

Their only drawbacks are their prices. The pro2000 is priced at $579 and the evo 2 is priced at $569. Both are deals if you ask me.

sooo this thread is basically asking wat racing seats are nice for fat people. well imo your fatass is not going to fit in most of the sparco series. u should maybe try recaros...they are not as narrow if you have the dough to dish out. or if cheaper you can go for sum corbeaus
