Welcome . It is thin but VERY sturdy. I myself am a pretty big guy and I love it. I remember you being a little bigger than me back when you came to Glendale for MOD and we walked back to your charger rental to get some shirts lol.

And ya, Nick did mention he had a GSX

I have Sparco Milanos which I think are the most comfy seats I have ever been in (if you can deal with the suede), plus I think they look really nice...They arent buckets, but they are aftermarkets.

They are wide and not too snug...i used to have buckets before and they KILLED my back daily driving in them

I have my eye set on the Sparco Evo XL but the mounting, sliding, height, etc... seem to be a problem with getting some information.

I am 6'2" 240lbs so I will need a larger seat.

I am not interested in seeing recovered stockers. Sorry....

Any help is appreciated......Thanks in advance guys!

what's up jarrod this its arbi friend the other guy who walk back to your charger on MOD with arbi just wanted to say arbs seat is not only sick looking but very comfortable and sits about 2 inchs lower you should have no problem fitting in it

JRod - I was all over the Sparco Evo 2 as well - the only problem was being over 6' tall, you cover the openings for the shoulder straps. I went with the Cobra Suzuka GT - not only large enough for your ****, but tall enough to SAFELY pass the shoulder straps thru:

with the Recaro side mounts - being where you are, make your owm brackets

It takes a bit of getting used to. I hated them when I first got them lol, but after a day or two, i got more n more comfortable, and then the driving position is just AWESOME. ***** were crushed a bit, but the seats hold u in awesome.

If I was ever to buy them again, i'd buy the stradia's, which are exactly the same, but the leg bolsters are a little lower, so u can spread ur legs a bit lol.
