Hey guys I have a question it may not seem very important but I am wondering what kind of seats should i get. Im kinda a big guy 6'1" around 200lbs and i need good lateral support for drifting and i was wonder what are the best seats out there that could fit my frame and provide good lateral support thanks for your time

If someone out there has the issue in SCC where they ran thru all the seats and said what size they fit best...you might want to check that...

If not...you can also go w/Sparco, Recaro, Momo or Bride and ask them what's what

Ok Im 6'3 and around 200 so I feel your pain:)

anyway Ive used sevral seets in the past..heres what I think
Momo..Ricer save for the bucks up racing seets(personal view)
Bride=hella bank..dont go with bride unless you have a tone of cash or all show
Sparco there good but a little pricy but I like there Torino seet for street use.. http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=95
Recaro are good but also expenciveIve never really had much to deal with them..save for there OE VW seets in an old Auto cross car..

Corbeau: while ive nver owne them Ive sat in a lot of there seats and like them alot..there TRS seat is nice and not that bad on price.. http://www.corbeau.com/brochure/TRS.shtml

There are other but are a little more hard core...hope this helps

Thanks guy I think i will go for the TRS seat since im a little short on cash right now ;) or the Forza seat im not sure whether to go for the adjustable or the fixed position I see advantages in both
The versatility of the adjustable but it seems the fixed seat would be more solid and hold better correct me if im wrong

I heard that when you mount the seat and put the harness in im planning on getting a 4 point or 3 point that you should not but the harness in at less than a 45 degree angle what is this about

its just the angel the harness is at after the seat compaired to your chest...if you get a roll bar mount it to that or a rear strut bar if you weld it in...just make sure you look over the info the harnes co. gives you...
