I like the stock ones quite a bit, but with a helmet they are too high. You've tried them out, I assume? Another problem is getting seats narro enough to fit inside the FD. From what I've read, the A4 seats by recaro fit well. By the way, I'm about 6'3" and like 170. Josh

6 foot, 220 lbs, lean. Dunno what ya'll are talking about...

Oh and diff ppl have diff frames. I tend to be heavier than people my height due to a larger heavier frame. Oh, and muscles help a bit too

here's the problem, i don't have any shops that carry seats around me. i'd have to drive to chicago or somewhere that's worth a damn (i live outside Ann Arbor). and no, i'm not missing any limbs, and that's after gaining almost 5 pounds my freshman year at college, i'm just a skinny white boy.
