Race seats
Most of the threads that search turned up were pretty old, so I thought I'd ask again.
For you wheel-to-wheel guys, what seat are you using? Are you all using seats with the side-of-the-head-padding? For simplicity, if you could just answer the following questions I think that would be useful:
1) What seat are you using?
2) What is your waist size?
3) ... your height?
4) ... you chest measurement, if you know it, or maybe your weight/build?
Feel free to add other comments about your seat... things you like/dislike/etc.
If you don't use your car for wheel-to-wheel racing, please specify that. Lots of people have race buckets even though they don't race, but I'm less interested in their choices (no offense intended).
Thanks!

1.) BRIDE GIAS
2.) 31/32
3.) 5'11"
4.) Suit size=40R
These are tight and VERY supportive! They actually have higher bolsters than most full buckets. They held up great at the track.
(And for sale )

1) Ultrashield Intermediate
2) 33"
3) 5' 10"
4) Stocky
I have this seat in my Spec Miata, and it works just fine -- I don't notice it, which is all I can ask. It's literally a pain in the ass on long drives to and from the track, though.
I'm also contemplating getting a seat with a head-restraining halo, but a fellow racer pointed out something that gave me pause -- if you have a halo seat and are wearing a HANS device, you're going to have a heck of a time getting out of the car in a hurry if you ever have to.

Also, at the risk of stating the obvious, if you're going racing, buy a seat that's legal for racing. For example, the Bride GIAS seat mentioned above would be illegal in SCCA club racing since it has a separate reclining backrest.
