I would try to test fit my rearend in some seats while at the track. find out what you fit in first, then look at how to fit it in the car. My guess is that you have a 30-32" waste/hips and the Sparco Evo, Recaro SPG would be a good fit for you and fit in the car.

Hard to just guess. I had to go to Recaro in Mich to test fit for myself. I'm 6'2.75" 215 and the stockers fit pretty well, but the CF Recaro was absolutely perfect because it actually had some give that locked me in. But not good if my bulk inc.

Here's my plan:
Go to the track. Chat with guys w/ race buckets. Ask them if I can sit in it. Once I find one that fits me comfortably, then I can order one for myself.

Just like clothing, you want a race bucket that fits comfortably, and the only way to know if it fits is to try it on for size. Unfortunately, most speed shops around me have a limited supply of seats, so it's easier just to try out seats that other people are using at the track.

Also, there are a few threads around here that talk about which seats fit in the S2000 and which ones don't, so do a search for those threads if you haven't already.

Listen to this guy. If you find a seat that you want but can't find where anyone else has used it in the s2k, make plenty of measurements to make sure it'll fit before purchasing. I did a decent amount of research and measurements before ordering my prodrive seat, and now it's sitting in my living room cause it won't fit in the car and I can't make myself cut it up as much as it needs to be.

I am 6'1" 180ish with a 32inch waist and fit perfectly in a sparco evo... got two of them. You have to slightly "modify" the seats, but they fit good.

Anyone around 5'10" or 5'11" about 195lbs? I am considering the Buddy Club XL but I'm not sure if it's comfy and if it fits.

You definitely want to sit in a seat before you buy it. Maybe go to a local meet?

And unless you want to cut up your interior, make sure you buy a seat that fits in your car. That severely limits your choices.

I'm 5'10" 173lbs and in a Bride Vios III. Fits me perfectly.
