Default Track seat options

Just bought a roll bar from member here and is looking for seat for track use.
Besides used factory seat like gt2 one, which I am looking into, any other suggestions?

GT2 are the best all round seats.
CGT seats are nice but have no forward tilt and no airbags if that is important to you.

also consider seat bases that are as low as possible. i'm using a planted seat base and i'm not running sliders to keep it low with side-mounts. GMG has a new seat base that is advertised as the lowest possible, likely at least 1" lower than my planted ones. not sure on pricing.

I personally like Recaro Profi XL's. But mainly because they are FMF (fat man friendly).

it's 0200 AM, I just drove four hours from Charlotte to Charleston, having a nice Porter Beer and some chips, winding down. Sat in my GT2 seats and I find them absolutely comfortable, the seat back is fine, no back or leg aches now, and they do flop forward to allow good access for stuff in the back of the cockpit. They do have side airbags, too. I am 6 feet 2, and sitting up straight, have about two inches of headroom, and if I take out the seat cushions, gain another two inches.

Works for me...

all the best...

I have jdm Recaro RS-G seats. The fit a finish is a lot better than pole position and spg in my opinion. I'm not as wide so they fit me very nicely.
