Matt, I'd classify you as one of those "really skinny people" but I agree I wouldn't buy a car seat without sitting in it first. I actually didn't buy a car once just because of the seat

Honestly, when I was auditioning seats I fit best in Sparco Evos, but they were non-reclining....so the Recaros got the nod. Let's face it, this is still a street car.
Good luck with your purchase.

Yep still a street car, but it will see a limited amount of road time. Most of its time will be 1/4 passes and some short auto-x so.....it isn't entirely important, however, the specs of this seat are similar to others I have sat in.

And here in the middle of nowhere there are no competent speed shops, and if they do have any seats, they are aluminum buckets, so no chance to test fit really, other than people's cars but that was limited.....

Matt, I appreciate your response, yourself an aftermarket seat owner I was hoping you would chime in...

Passenger bracket is done and seat is installed. It won't take long to match the drivers but right now i'm concentrating on the clutch and tying up all the loose ends for the 5 speed swap

bump.

How do you like them? My stock leathers are tearing, and the vinyl electrical tape fix just looks horrible. Really starting to research aftermarket seats.

I love them they were well worth the money. I just am waiting to see if I want to install a harness bar or go with a cage, I'll probably wait on the cage until i'm forced to put one in......
