Default After Market Seat's

I have had my driver's seat to the shop twice and they have removed it and added foam and replaced the whole bottom with some stiff foam board. On the driver's seat ther is a metal bar on the door side that sticks up because of the electric control's. I feel this bar on my lower left thigh and it is not very comfortable. I need to know who makes a nice bolt in seat that will be a nice for the 951. Does anybody know who makes a nice seat? I am 6 foot 245 with a waist of 40 and need to make sure I fit the seat before I order a set.

I have a group buy for seats going as we speak. Expect a post tonight, or tomorrow. They Are FX1 Pro's and FX1, but I can get a good price on different seats to. Stay tuned!

I'm your size, close anyways 6'2" 245.
If you looking for race buckets, there are only a few that we fit in. I've got EVO2's and I just fit. Forget about most standard size seats, race or anything with high bolsters. Make sure you sit in them BEFORE you buy.

I looked at these seats and I want a seat that I can recline and tilt forward. The seats you are doing a group buy with will not tilt forward or recline.

I have a set of tenzo rally type seats in my car they are one of the most comfortable race style seat I have ever seen. They have sliders and they recline. And the best part they are resonably priced.

Those rally seats look really nice! If you don't mind my asking what do they run a piece ?
Those do recline and move forward, correct ?
thanks in advance
