Only reclinable seats that fit are Corbeau's and Bride gais???

And whats my best bet for my size? How big is the waist part on Pole position? Will i be able to fit with 34-35 inch waist and it cant sit high as im 6'1 maybe 6'2'

Does Bride gais only come in carbon fiber?

The Brides will probably be tight considering your measurements. These seats are meant for skinnier body types. Trust me, I know .

Sparco Evo seats fit just fine. I used to have some model of Momo seats in my old track car, but the model escapes me at the moment. They were in Wael's old car for you old timer FD guys.

Bride Gias Seats also fit, but they are extremely narrow. If you're fat around the waist, good luck

1) Supply (limited).
2) Cash flow (also limited).

Am I the only one that noticed the horrid grammatical mistake in the subject line?

Haha and FDNewbie explained it quite well in that last post about why we arent using the JDM Recaros.

I have two Sparco Sprints. The cheapest and most introductory level seats that Sparco makes. The Roadsters are actually more expensive. The Sprints range at about 300-350 a seat. Its actually a GREAT deal if you decide to race the car often as they wear out and the safetly rating thingy that they have expires as well.
They fit fine. I remembered that the outside bolster just barely made contact on the door panel if the seat was all the way back.

Im. 5'9 and liked to plant my clutch pedal to the floor, so I always had the seat a couple clicks more forward. Never touched the door panel, no problems.

TheCrazyAZN- if you are talking about the subject line of this thread, I noticed how bad it sucked when it was too late.

FDnewbie-I sent you an email to order, and I havent had a response? But I would like to buy OEM JDM Recaros. And I was looking at your site and is the only difference in the SPIRIT R and RZ seats is the color?

Anyway I want to order the RZ Oem seats, those are the black ones right? I would like to order whenever you can locate some. Do they some with brackets?

Please let me know, I really want these seats, and I have the money right now so Im not just wasting your time. Thanks alot.

F1 Spec

If you need something that's even cheaper, they have versions of these seats in fiberglass instead. It's a good option if you're not worried about brand names and just want something that fits and looks good.
Just an old thread on the F1 Spec seats (https://www.rx7club.com/interior-exterior-audio-26/f1spec-seats-559982/)

I'm considering buying these, (http://www.f1spec.com/r1ck.html) which is practically the Bride Gias seat for $750 AND free shipping to the lower 48... And if you're looking for a cheaper seat with same measurements theres also the fiberglass model (http://www.f1spec.com/r1frp.html) as opposed to the Carbon Kevlar above.

Again, like Merlin said if you're not looking for a brand name and want something that fits and looks good, here is a great alternative!

You emailed me? Name & email address plz? I may have missed it...

And yes, essentially the only difference between the RZ and Spirit R seats is the color.

Thanks,
