Default best seats for my 240sx

i currently have ractive seats (dont ask) and they are too tall and high for a person of my size(40 waist) as well as being tacky as hell. im looking for just a driver seat since i could care less about the overall look and im looking at bride seats since i rmbr reading that they didnt set up as high as other seats. does anyone have pictures, opinions, pictures of what they would suggest for someone in my position. thanks

Bride XAX II are very comfy. A good balance between track and street.

How small are these though? I know a lot of the Brides out there are made for little tiny asian people. There is no way in hell I'd fit in a lot of the seats they make - 34" waist, 43" jacket size. I know Bride makes some "large" seats but I am not sure how big they actually are - do you have a picture of those seats?

I am 6'2" 33~34" waist and shoulders are broad, too be honest it fits like a glove. If you ever see me at a show/race/whatever, just come up and I'll let you sit in the seat to test fit. The part that sold me on the XAX II model is the lack of leg bolsters.

OOooo, they look nice - I am not sure if I could get over paying that much for a seat without a good PJ first, hahaha. Thanks for the info though, I'll have to keep them in mind.

I have sat and been in a car with it driving on a Auto-X course in a Momo Cup seat, they are the seats I want, I just don't have the money right now to get them.

scc did an article on their project silvia, it seems as if aftermarket seats in 240s have issues with clearing a bump in the floor panel and most tend to result in nearly no headroom whatsoever. they recommended r32 gtr seats, but i have no idea where you'd be able to find any.

s14 or s15 seats seems to be the way to go, although some aftermarket companies custom make their seats for the 240sx. i'm sure bride would be one of these aftermarket companies.
