i am not sure if i am in the right forum, if not, please let me know where else to post it..

I am 6'5 and weigh 240, which seat should i consider??
i sat in torino and evo1 and felt a lil tight...

prefer reclinable, becos i am worried that the non reclinable ones will sit up pretty straight on my back, and my head will touch the roof of my 99 civic coupe...

i might have to ware a helmet too... so i dont wanna tilt my head side ways when i auto cross...

i dont have problems with my stock seats with a helmet on, but i swing everywhere when i autoX.. lol

 

Corbeau makes a seat called the CR-1 and they make it in "wide base" for people with bigger waistlines and hip structure. They're some of the highest quality, most comfortable racing seats I've ever sat in and I would recommend them to anyone. They're relatively cheap too .

Here's the link - http://www.corbeau.com/products/cr1/cr1.shtml

and a pic:



$450 for the "wide version"

 

Whoever you choose, always sit in the seat before you buy it. Most important factor is how it fits.

 

I had always thought that sitting in it before buying it is the best way, but in San Diego, i dunno where can i try seats out.. i mean shops here dont stock a lot of seats for people to try...

 

I'm a husky guy just like yourself and I'm shopping for seats as well. I'm tried the sparco evo also and it was a little tight on my hips, my ***** need to breath a little. I'm looking into the sparco evo 3 now.

 

sparco evo 2 or 3, depending on fit.

 

Corbeau makes great seats and lucky for me they are made right here in Utah

Yea, fat street racers represent!

For the reclining ones, look at the design, and don't get a 1 piece seat. SOme of them DO recline, but pivot on the front, and this will put your knees at the wheel, I know, I been there.

 

but i will bump my head on non-reclinable seats with a helmet...

Definatley. Nothing can ruin ever car ride like a seat that you don't enjoy.

I had a Corbeau A4, and absolutely hated it honestly. I'll never own another Corbeau seat.
