What racing seats fit?
I know this has been asked a bunch of times before.
I just wanted to know if any type of reclinable can fit WITHOUT modification to the rails or the seat. I would really prefer a reclinable seat, as sitting upright 100% of the time would get annoying IMO. I really like recaro SRD's but am worried that they wont fit, unless I get the JDM ones but I dont feel like donating a ******** to get the cash to pay for 'em.
I read that people have fit sparco milano or torinos in, but modifying the rails is necessary.

Recaro SPG's fit pretty well, the wing hits the door very slightly, not so much so as to get in the way or be annoying. The problem is you have to fabricate your own mounts for the stock sliders. Rotary Extreme is working on making rails that mount the SPG's to the stock sliders and should have them out in a month or two. Because of the extremely tight cockpit of the FD, there are very few seats that will fit, and even less that will mount easily without fabricating your own rails.

Try Mazdaspeed seats. I am sure they will fit.
I bet that a few Bride seats will fit as well because they are made in Japan. Bride is a big name there and the Japanese population as a whole have a smaller frame than Americans....generally speaking of course.

I think any bottom mount non reclinables (one's with a small enough width) will fit with custom brackets for the stock mounts.
I would like this seat to fit in the FD http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=403 ; i think the withs are just as big as the Corbeau CR1's . . .
