Default Recaro bucket seat with same Size as Sparco Corsa?

Hello guys! Sorry for my bad english.

I have a Sparco Corsa bucket seat in my S2000. The problem is that the left side of the seat is touching against the door side.

Looking for a Recaro Bucket seat that will fit better in my car, but i still want the same size inside the seat. I hope you understand

The problem is that in Sweden there is no Recaro dealer were you can test how the Recaro seats suits my body size.

So, wich Recaro bucket seat is simmilar in size with the Sparco Corsa, that will fit my car and me good??


I realy hope someone can give me some good advice!

Best Regards,
Erik Regnell Sweden

Recaro Pole Position is slightly narrower than the Corsa in the seat bottom and definitely fits in the S with no rubbing issues.

PP is about an inch narrower in the seat bottom and the shoulder area. I guess it depends if the Corsa is a snug fit for you or not.

Corsa is quite a bit wider than the PP's (shoulder wings only). However, the PP's are much wider in the butt area, and they widen out a lot towards the knee area.

If you're looking for similar ergonomics as the Corsa, then look at the Recaro SPG instead.

Fwiw, I just sold my PP's for a tighter fitting seat. I'm a 28-29 waist, and the PP's were way too loose.

P.s. what seat rail are you using? Is it possible to shift the center of the car?

Are there any good seats that can fit a 38" waist?
