I already put my car on a diet . . . now you expect me to do it too?? My friends always mess with me because I try to knock off weight on the car when I could knock an easy 50 pounds off my stomach and a$$.

OK folks, I think I found it! I am going to test fit it on Tuesday if time goes well. Here is a linky:
http://www.racetechseatsna.com/race_seats/RT4000.html
It is at the bottom - the RaceTech 4000WX. I sat in a 4000W and it was too tight in the hip area. This should do the trick. I am going to fit the 4000W and see if there will be enough room to fit the WX. It looks like I need about an inch more at the B-pillars for the WX as compared to the W.
I will let you all know how it goes. BTW, for anyone looking for seats, the RaceTech are absolutely awesome!! Their top of the line seats have been tested to withstand an over 45G crash. That's 45 times normal gravity!!

Here you go. This is what I came up with so far. Seats under 24" wide "should" fit in the EVO without a problem. I agree that the PolePosition looks stupid with the round head rest area, but I think that is the one I am going to go with, unless I find out that I can fit in the 4009WTHR. It is actually a couple inches taller than most seats so that would be good for me.

can any of the big & tall guys chime in here with what they bought??
I fit in the Evo 2 seat well; however, my torso is too long, and I completely block the openings for the shoulder straps
I'm 6'4", 220lbs. and have a 36/37" waist.
I'm leaning towards the Cobra Suzuka GT's???

Check out the RaceTech 4009WTHR. Downsides are price and the head restraints, but I just got one and it is absolutely awesome! I don't think the head restraints will be too bad.

I just ordered some Buddy Club seat rails and we'll see soon jsut how it fits in the EVO.

It's just perfect enough that i don't move, even without the harnesses on. good stuff. but i'm about a 36 waist, and thats where it squeezes, good for me, bad for you.

I think I would fit fine in those; however, it's the holes for the shoulder straps that I'm too tall for I've been told that the Cobra GT seats are tall then Sparco's - I haven't been told about the RaceTech's. I'll be calling CDOC on Monday; they carry both

I have no idea what they're a knockoff of. No doubt they are though. prices went up a bit too (on their site)

I have the 68's. the belts come through the hole and go up, but don't really contact the top of the seat. (for me) Other than that, i love the things, have survived my abuse very well.
