Im lookin for some suggestions on Fixed Seats that are for larger frame guys. Im 5'11" 205lbs 34" waist. My back is wide, and my thighs are good size. My waist fits ok in most seats but i have the most issue with the bottom. What seats open wider for more leg room?

Also, a lot of seat manufacturing sites write in detail, sizes that fit in their seats. This could be an expensive buy if you're not going to cheap out on a safety item for you car. Take the time to measure the space you'll need and use it to see how you'll fit based off of measurement for the seats you're interested in.

I did search "seats", "seat sizes", & "large seats". Theres a few but not any specific ones describing peoples measurements and how they fit in their seat, & what make & model the seats are at the same time. I knew id get a few rash responses but its Zilvia. Thats to be expected. Theres a Decent person who will reply with relevant info im looking for. Thanks for the input. Ill check out Corbeau.

Sparco evo 2 plus and evo 2 are good. Also recaro pole position is nice for bigger guys.

None of the wide seats will bolt in with bride/nams/buddy club rails, so be prepared to either mod them or build your own bracket.

There was a thread made a month or two ago. You didn't search well enough.

I just installed a set of the Takata Race LE's which are 30mm wider than the regular versions. I'm only 5'9", 185 lbs, but I put them in to replace some other buckets I had that were way too tight. I've got a little room to move in these.
