Best "Racing" Seat For Bigger Guys
So guys I have some pretty cheap replica F1Spec, they're supposed to be rip off of the Bride Gias II and even though I've been getting used to them i really want something better fitting for me and my FD.
Right now I'm about 6'1" about 220 and I would say I'm pretty wide across the shoulders and I would like to know if there's a good racing seat made for us bigger guys that still has that "cool factor". Thanks guys

Yup. Problem is finding a seat that will fit both YOU, and the car, without modification.
I'm personally leaning towards getting a Sparco Evo II, and just cutting the bolster(?) to make it fit with the interior plastics...

Yea I was thinking about going with the LRB aluminum door cards to free up some space and the fact that my door plastics are starting to fail. It should add about 2"-4" which is pretty good

Check out Corbeau. A lot of tall 3rd gen guys swear by them.
I'm 6'2"/190 and fit fine in my stock sunroofed FD, even with my helmet on. Unless you have your heart set on race seats or your stockies are completely blown out, give them a chance. They're definitely more comfortable than any aftermarket seat.

For really big folks 225 plus pounds you'll probably need to go with an aluminum kirk seat or something similar.
I have a momo start race seat in great shape that will fit bigger folks. It's too big for me but I'm smallish at 5.9 155.
