Default Recaro SRD fit for a slim driver

I am considering buying some used Recaro SRD's...they are a bit of a drive away, so before I do that I was hoping someone could comment on how they fit someone about 5'10", 150lbs.

thanks,
Adrial

I'm really too porky for mine at 210 so you should be fine.

I'm 6' and 175lbs and the SRD is very comfortable. It is an excellent street seat and a good track day seat, but obviously it won't hold you like a shell does.

I am 6'1" and 180 lbs and they feel snug sitting in them but, once you get on the track, they are exceeedingly comfortable and very grippy.

Like Stacy said, though I am more like 5'11" I liked my SRDs a lot on the street/track car.

Hello All,

I talked to a high volume dealer about the SRD vs the Speed. He stated that the Speed was narrower and had larger upper and lower bolsters. I had an SRD in a previous car and found it pretty comfortable. I suppose it was snug enough, though not particularly tight. I am 5'11 165# 40in coat and 31" waist. I would go for the Speed if I were to do it again. I hope this is helpful.

Sincerely,
j

P.S. I cannot believe I just posted my "measurements" on a car board . . . haha.

I weight 155 and they are a little lose, but if you have harnesses you should be fine, plus they are comfortable on the ride home unlike fixed back seats
