what seats fit

i am looking for a reclinable seat that actually fits the 3rd gen. without rubbing the door panels or center console. I am 6'5" and barley fit now. Does any one have any experience or suggestions?
I talked with several manufactureres i deal with and they all said their are no seats narrow enough.

I am currently looking into a set of bride seats.

any experienced suggestions would be great.

are these seats reclinable?
how would you describe the fit, any rubbing?
more or less head room?
more or less leg room?
what brackets did you use to mount them?

My seets dont recline but they are a tight fit and the touch the door a little. I have a lot of head room now and i have a sun roof so if you dont you will have a whole lot more head room. And as for the seet brackets i made them so i could have more room and i used some uneversal sliders.

the torinos recline, and although you can fit them in, i have heard there is some rubbing issues. You often have to shave some stuff on the seat.

I am 6'3" and put in the DAD seats.

I made some brackets out of 2" wide steel, and I sit a little lower, maybe 1-2" but not much. I had a hard time with the stock r-1 seats on long drives, they squeezed my fat az so my toes would fall asleep. The DAD's have a wider butt, the fit is tight, but you can make it work. I have a little rub, but I'm sure i could adjust it some more, for now it is good enough for me.

were would be the best place to buy a set of mazda speed seats. I would kill for yellow inserts with black leather. Are these seats specific for the rx7 so they fit perfect.

any one know if the re seats are of good quality

also any connections on the bride seats, best place to buy from.

tbowzer, thankyou for your link. After reading with his experience the sparco is not a good choice for me.
thank you for the time......
