Which Aftermarket Seats Do You Like Best?

Hey Guys,

I purchased an FD about a week ago...it's immaculate, I only plan on doing a few things to it. One thing I noticed is the seats are not accommodating. They're Recaro SPGs, they look good and are fairly comfortable but the high lateral supports make it difficult to get in and out of the car (not great when you're on a date) and if you're any larger than 6 ft, 180 lbs, you don't fit. For those of you out there that have purchased aftermarket seats, what would you recommend? I want something that looks good, is practical, but still provides some support when I'm driving at speed. Thanks for the input!

Personally I prefer a seat that can recline and hold a beer and a plate of Nachos!!..just kidding,I don't drink!
anyways,there is a thread on "what seats fit and which ones don't" that may give you a little info,and perhaps give you insight to a choice of seat.
The Tall guys always have a problem with the seat.
and the shorter guys it is just getting to look up over the dash!..lol!

Thanks, that link was indeed helpful. Now that I have narrowed down the seats that will fit the car, which ones will fit me and my passenger comfortably? I fit in my SPGs just fine but I'd like to not have to feel like I'm lowering myself into a F1 cockpit each time I get in the car. The manufacturers have the measurements but nothing is a substitute for first hand experience in the fitment. So you boys that have had quite a few seats or have sat in them at shows, which ones have been most well rounded?
