I also heard its not safe to use RE rear tower harness bar and 4/5 point harnesses.

IMHO the Torino is a very comfortable seat, but it just doesn't fit very well in an FD (to bulky). If I had to do it all over again I would just by a non adjustable bucket seat from Bride or Recaro.

How tall are you and how much do you weight? What rails are you using? Is the seating higher or lower than stock?

I had an SPG Pro Racer in my FD. It was a tight squeeze, but they fit. I bought the rails second hand and the only info I could get from the seller was that they're "JDM Super Low."

You can't see ish. They suck for the street. I just used them on the track. And I'm very aware of everything behind/beside me on the track.

Just gauging how comfortable the seats are at your height and weight.

I think Omochi's Recaro doesn't rub nor a friend's Bride when he had the car. However, I'm chunkier than them and I don't like the how the back support doesn't properly envelope me. The Pro2K fit really nice and comfy.

I know exactly what you mean about fitment. I actually own a pair of Pro2k, never got a chance to install it. Did you use the OEM rails and mod it or did you make your own completly? I am considering purchasing rails from Bride or MemoryFab, does anyone know if they will work with the seats?
