Default Big Boy Seats

In the market for some seats now that im putting my car together next month but one problem. Im a size 38 waist (i know im working on it) What seats would fit me comfortably...

I've seen a few but need first hand experience before i buy them.

I was thinking Recaro Pole Position seats with some Buddy Club rails to make them go as low as they can. But is there another seat that can do the trick too?

i saw some on GoTuning's site that i liked too..

Bride Vios 3 Sport low max.

what rails go good with that tho.. I need to go as low as i can.


Thanks
-Luis

I would also like to know what seats are a little roomier. I'm a 34, but I would not mind having some extra room

i am a 36 waist about 230lbs- i run a bride vios III sport with low max rails.

its amazing espcially since i am 6'3 i can see everything so much better and the seat hugs you on every turn..

only downside is, is that its a bitch getting in and out with the top up but oh well

youd probally like the sparco evo2

iv seen pics in the s, it doesnt hit the door, but it looks like you loose your center glove box, unless you slide the seats forward

i have the bride vios III and had both Zeta III and pole position before

from the tightest to the most comfortable:

Zeta III > SPG > Vios III > Pole position

Pole position has tons of leg room and getting in and out is fairly easy
Vios III and SPG is more tight
Zeta III is the tightest and getting in and out is the most pain, unless you have a quick release steering wheel.
well coming from the guy who has had the seats im looking at i guess i have myself a seat. Pole Position it is, thanks man.
