I thought I would start a thread to get some ideas for aftermarket seats in my FD.

I am 6'3", 245lbs, 38" waist, and I'm in pretty decent shape. I'm just a big son of a bitch, so I'd like to see what others are using for aftermarket seats. I don't think I'll fit in the recaro RZ's, but maybe someone else my size has?

Here is some general information which you could post:

-Seat Brand
-Seat Model
-Fitment (rubbing issues?)
-Rails or bolted to floor? (were they custom made, factory, etc)
-Your height
-Your weight / waist size (no, not looking for dates)
-And of course, pictures of seats.

Thanks!

 

-Seat Brand
Ebay? MazdaSpeed? No clue as they were previous owner's doing. Probably ebay by the other engine mods he did.

-Seat Model
*See above

-Fitment (rubbing issues?)
None. Plenty of clearance to top of car. No rub spots. Good craftsmanship. Cloth buckets.

-Rails or bolted to floor? (were they custom made, factory, etc)
Rails. Modified OEM - I believe he said. Seats are adjustable forward and back as well as tilt of back of seat. Cloth w/ hard insert. VERY comfortable with good side support.

-Your height
6' 3" Plenty of room. (will not lose your privates in an accident)

-Your weight / waist size (no, not looking for dates)
200lbs. 34-36 inch waist

-And of course, pictures of seats.
Here ya go. (Car is filled with boxes and parts atm)

 

Why start another thread on the topic when we have this one?

YES! I was looking for that one

Thanks gracer

 

I am almost identical in size to you, and the recaro rz's are a great fit. Very comfortable and supportive. If you want to increase your headroom, fab brackets to bolt the seats closely to the floor. You save the weight of the adjusters, and gain headroom (~2-3"), but you lose adjustability.
FWIW previously I got pretty good results with sparco torino knockoffs and custom adapters to the stock rails. They dropped the height ~1"
