Large Racing seats

I did a search for this and couldnt find what i was looking for

If i am wanting to change out the unconfortable ralli art seats for some cushi racing seats which ones are the way to go. The reason I am asking is because I am 6'2", 240Lbs and need a larger seat and back rest than most. Does anyone know of a specific company or model of seat that would meet my needs. I would be looking for a reclining chair, and prefer not to spend a fortune.

Actually I have to disagree. Our seats are pretty bulky and heavy, they are made to accomodate the entire population, while on the other hand, racing seats are only for a select few. You wont see a 300 lb grandma in a Sparco, thats why car companies make seats to accomodate everyone like I just said. Racing seats are smaller because they really "hold" you in the seat, whereas stock seats allow for a lot more leniency and let you fly all around the place if you were doing some crazy driving. Plus our seats are heavy as crap with all that steel and stuff thats under it.

But back to the topic at hand, I cannot recommend what seats to use, as far as aftermarket, but if you are a pretty big guy with a big waist, then I can at least tell you that tenzo seats are NOT for you.
