Opinion on seat upgrade

I’m 5’11, 31” waist and 145# and I have the Nurburgring R: I love them to death but my hips are pretty secured in the seats. I don’t more around during spirited driving and I’ve done 11 hours straight in them and felt fine.

They’re not huge seats and the bolsters on the sides are less pronounced than some of the other offerings but they are still robust and I’ve had others who are larger comment that they felt tight.

Those fixed seats look the part but I’m. It sure is want to be in them for regular driving.


Also, for a later car, I don’t think most of these seats will look right save for the bottom two. The rallye seats and the Nurburgring look great in long hoods but might not fit an IB car. That said, to hell with what I think- do what makes you happy.
