For you guys with the Bride Stradia II's, how is the lateral support if you use just the stock seat belt? I'm 5' 7" and a 32" waist. I tried sitting in a Bride VIOS and it's a bit too hardcore for my mainly street driven car. My main concern is that the lower thigh bolsters of the Stradia may not be sufficient for the track. So I'm trying to decide between the Stradia and GIAS. I'm not a hardcore track guy. I hit the track maybe 3-4 times per year. I'm trying to find that balance between track and street.

For 3-4 track days a year, the Stradia II with OEM belts will be fine. The bolsters are lower than the Gias or Vios for sure but they are far higher than stock. For a mainly street driven car it's a great seat. Make sure you get the low thigh pad not the regular.

I'm new to the forum, but what type of seat would y'all suggest for a guy who is 6 feet tall and 240lbs? I need some more leg room.

Thanks. This what I figured from looking at the seats. For all the pictures of these seats on the internet, I can't seem to find any of people sitting in them.

For all you guys running the Recaro pole position seats, how much of a task is it getting in and out of them?

I'm 5'11 and 210 pounds...getting in and out is harder than the stock seats, but it isn't so bad that I regret the seats or anything...basically I put a hand on the center console and lift myself out. I bought the recaro side protector because I doubt there is anyone bigger than me in a pole position (time to start hittin the gym again!)

Question for you guys with Recaro Pole Postion seats. I'm 6ft 235lbs 38 waist and truly only fit in recaros from what I've tried so far and my only concern are what rails to get to mount them on. Im ok sitting at oem height or less but I can not sit higher cause my knees will hit the steering wheel. I prefer to keep away from buddy clubs due to their weak welds and prefer something that doesnt need modifications at all. Just set it and forget it kind of set up. I was leaning towards recaro rails w sliders but im open to other options that fit correctly from the start.

Thanks

I wanted to go with recaro rails and sliders for my Pole Positions, but after some more research it seems I would be sitting higher than OEM, which I did not want. I eventually went with the Ballade sports sliders for both driver and passenger. They are basically made by PCI, but Ballade sports sells them. I like how they fit and function and it definitely sits lower than OEM.

Also, i believe Ballade Sports was recently modifying OEM seat rails/sliders to work with aftermarket seats. I would check with them to see if this would work for you. I would have probably considered that route when I first purchased my seats.
