List of seats that fit and dont fit.
since we're talking about seats does any body know where I can get seat rails that are longer so I can move my seat back more? I have a JDM (RHD) version of the FD and supposedly the seat rails on the J-Spec cars don't go back as far as the USDM ones, since the steering wheel is on opposite side can I just use a USDM passenger (right side) rail to work? Being 6'3 with long legs in a FD is a pain haha but I love my car to death.

I am a 5"10 big boned sob with 38 of waste. Unfortunently, i bought Torinos 2 that i saw in some members car but even with stock rail modification, if I don't want them to rub on the doghouse, or the door panel, I would have to saw off one side of the inclining shaft. which I wont do on a brand new seat sorry. I will most likely sell them soon.
What would you guys suggest, i know the GIAS look spectacular but I dont feel like going with 1500$ a pop seats. Even non-ajustable will do for me as long as they are confortable (confortable as in not too tight) and that I have enough room for helmet.
He's talking about the MemoryFab seat rails & brackets (since he's using their seat):

After reading Dhalen's post about Fat *** bastards who need a seat big enough for their butts thread. I think the best option would be the Corbeau Forza with Corbeau's seat rails.
I'll post some pics when I get them.

What are the exact seat brackets that you speak of?

If you have a 38" waist, these are not the seats for you lol. No offense but i am a small built guy (about 162lbs) and i THINK its tight. I sorta broken in the driver side a bit but first couple of uses and its a bit hard to get used to. Getting in and out is a bit tough because you cant rely on the bottom sides to maneuver yourself out because the entire seat is made of carbon fiber, so the actual sides are hard. What i do is i use my left hand on the door sill and push myself out while my right hand is on the 12 o clock position of the steering wheel pushing myself out as well. lol
Out of all these seats that fit, do any slide, recline, and sit lower than OE? I know it's a lot to ask. Looks like the Bride Gias might be the ticket pending seating height on sliders?
From my experience, get the memfab S68 which are like the seats i purchased and posted pics of but they recline. And you're literally sitting on the floor. (i cant stick my hand under the seat).
