Pole Position FIA can easily be setup to have lap belts sit just as tight over your hips as the ABE version really. As can pretty much any other Recaro seat. There is plenty of space to route through lap belt holes if done properly to have the belts sit just as tightly against your hips and in the proper position.

Does anyone else notice the lack of foam at the portion where the head rests against the seat on the Pole Position? Compared to the RSG it’s rather uncomfortable and worrying in the case of an accident. It feels like it’s literally just the seat cover then the fiberglass

I found a way to do this using Schroth lap belt parts. Mounted just like Schroth mounts lap belts on some of their harnesses. - https://www.s2ki.com/forums/automoti.../#post24439463

Obviously it's a nit pick about safety. I'm sure the majority of S2000 owners don't care THAT much about safety otherwise we wouldn't be running aftermarket steering wheels w/o air bags. Just wanted to point it out though--ABE has it's place and it's design certainly results in safety benefits that can't necessarily be matched by the regular PP.

My SPG has basically zero padding as well, because it's original intention was just as a motorsports seat. I think the RSG is purposefully designed with more padding. The reason i originally mentioned my leather PP is because i have owned both a regular cloth and the leather. The Leather had significantly more padding than the cloth. My only guess is that Recaro, or whoever spec'd the seat for design, did it purposefully based on who the market would be for the seat. No track cars would likely be using leather buckets! They probably figured they'd be used in GT street cars. I was thinking the same would apply to the RSG....as i believe they are a Japan only model, so i'm sure Recaro Japan and/or ASM spec'd the seat specifically for owners who just wanted a nice seat for their street car. IDK that's just my guess. I see ASM posting RSG installs all the time and they're always going into nice street cars with full interiors/no roll bars, hardly ever track cars--which probably opt for halo'd seats anyway.

Sparco QRT-R
Has anyone tried the Sparco QRT-R yet ? It looks very promising fitting in an S2000.

For fear of posting another "do I fit" thread, I thought I would ask the question here. Since S2ki has one issue after spending a few hours sifting through the site..
there's just so much content.
Namely I am a 6 foot 4 brash american with a 38 inch waist and rough measurement of 34 inch inseam and own a 05 ap2. I've already done the foamectomy and hammered the seating brackets and it worked gloriously.
My knees ARE NOT touching the steering wheel and this position is about par for the course in regards to my size and small cars (e36 m3 and rx8 where about the same to be honest)
I have an NRG -301 (large) seat that has a 15 inch cross section where the tushy sits and I fit in that. so using extrapolative inference, can I assume most seats that have somewhere around a 14.9 to 15.4 seat base will be suitable?
on to of that
what FIA seats are available to me that also fit the s2000 with the PCI bracket? I read the PCI bracket is the way to go but you normies out there are mostly mid t0 high 5 foot range and 30-34 inch waists.
a few I have had to check out are the bride Zeta 3 L, Racetech RT4000W, Recaro Profi SPG Large.
your help is appreciated.

It definitely looks like competition to the Pole Position. I’m too lazy to compare specs right now between the two but since the PP barely fits in the S, hopefully Sparco got the dimensions right for fitment in the S. It definitely looks good. I like the black logo as well.
