I've got one of the cheap sparcos... it's awesome. I've done 5 hour trips in it and love every minute of it. Fixed back doesn't matter if you install it well. I mounted mine low to lower my weight in the car, that helped a lot too...

I had one but never liked it. It all depends on how you sit in a seat. I slouch a bit so it was uncomfortable for me. I ditched them and got me some del sol seats. 8)

ive sat in corbeau and recaro.

if you're interested in corbeau, email me jason@centerlinemotorsports.com and I will get you a quote.

tell me specifics, what seat, what color, quantity, what sliders you need if any, etc...

include it all in the email and ill pull up the retail prices, take a big chunk out of that, and then send you a quote.

I love my Buddy Club seat. My wife isn't a big fan of driving my car cause of the hassle of getting in and out of the seat but this fucker holds you TIGHT. Literally. I have a 31" inseam and it's tight and my friend couldn't even get in this seat and he's like a 36. The seat is light as hell as in you can pick it up with one finger no joke. Once you've drove in this seat and then go back to stock or even a delsol seat like I was using even that feels like you were sitting in a bench seat. I wanted something different that the usual recaro, corbeau and sparco seats and heard good things about them. If your a bigger guy don't even try since Budy Club must think that all people have small figures like Asian people(not to be stereotyping) but no average size guy(I'm just a little guy at 5'5" with an 31" and about 150lbs) is gonna fit in this seat so look elsewhere like a Sparco sprint or something or hold back from getting super sized next time to McDonalds. lol

I sat in some leather racing seats that had adjustable backs once and they felt damn good. When I get some racing seats I will more than likely go with some like those.

Sorry to jack the thread, but it is on the topic of seat comfort/fit.

So what kind of seat would a fat bastard like myself fit into??

obviously not the buddy club pictured above if 36" waist won't fit at all.

well...the EVO II and Forza II are both made for fat ass's to fit into them ;) i think those are recommended for 34-38"... check there websites for more info....also SCC does a seat comparo every year, they get an ass of every size (30-38 i think) to sit in every seat and rate them, might want to find one of those issues...
