If you're a bigger guy you probably won't fit in most bride seats, they are tight. I'm 6' 150 lbs 31 waist and most brides are tight on me. I use the SPG XL's because I street drive the car sometimes and they are comfortable, a little bit loose but still way better than stock seats.

Ok, this subject is on top of my list via different thread, but still have unanswered questions.

I also want the Recaro seat. But, not willing to go forward with entire air bag system disabled (without factory seat air bag) per Porsche. Still trying to understand if this is accurate or sales pitch. I need more aggressive race seat for 3-5 track events, while keeping street capability.
If remove my factory loaded electric seats in my Turbo with Recaro, will trip air bag light, but CAN I have it reset such that remainder of air bag system works properly for street use?

That is good news. The Porsche dealership said no way to enable the rest of air bag system (excluding seats), thus forcing GT2 style. I am OK with not having seat bag, as long as rest are active during normal street driving. May need to work with different shop.

I had Bride Zeta 2 many years back, awesome seat.. but I'm now more like size 38 versus 32-34 back then. too much =
And good notes on the Airbag stuff too :thumb:
