just wear sum PUMAS!!! lol. if you are big, usually big feet follow. Strap those puppies tight and you will do fine with the pedals.

as for the seat, i have seen some BIG guys driving evos... all it means is that the seat will hold you in better, lol. So just slide it back a few clicks so your snug, put that seatbelt on, or get the harness, and GO!!!!!!!

I'm not THAT big, i have a Linebacker body, for any football guys out there....

Im about 6 foot 230 pounds....i just have big thighs from football and the pedals...there REALLY close together.
Any bigger seats available out there?
I'm 6'1" 220lbs and it fits ok, you just need to get used to it, it'll be fine

im 6'3, 250 pounds...fit fine.....

to complain the way you are- you have to either be VERY picky, need a lot of lower back support, or you just have VERY effed up body proportions!

This thread is freakin hilarious " I squat this, I squat that" Of topic much?

To the OP, What kind of shoes are you trying to drive in? Reason I ask is when i drive in my Evisu's or Addidas' I find the pedals to be fine, But when i drive in my boots or other workout sneakes it's a pain in the ****.

As far as the seat comfort it's not too bad for me but it is all about personal preference. I did notcie that the seat will break in for sure for you body size. Yesterday I sat on the passenger side to clean out my glove box from crazy gas reciepts and it is noticably "tighter" than the driver's side is. You should be fine. GL with the purchase!

evo was never designed for big meaty americans, sorry to say. just look at the rest of the world and you'll see how fat we are. im slender by american standard but when i go back to my home country (korea), im definetly not slender to their standards. just check out JDM evo seats, they're even TIGHTER then usdm evo recaros. to be honest my USDM seats are a tad loose, i'd like them very snug to hold me in hard cornering. oh im 5' 9" and 150 lbs.

I don't think the seats are bolstered enough. I'm 5'10" 160. It would be nice if you could order new JDM foam and OEM seat cover!

I bought an Evo in 03, at 6'7" and 235lbs. I went up to 285lbs and I actually wore out the left side bolster on my seat, not the backrest...

I went back down to 255, only packed on some muscle and I was OK by a long shot, but I could see how it could be an issue.

it takes some getting used to, but what kind of car did you have before? By comparison, it may be that, thats causing you by perception to be cramped.

I have short legs for a guy my height, so I could move the seat all the way back and barely reach the pedals!!

I think if you drive a little bit, youll get used to it.
