Default Suggestions for Racing Seat: C5 and 6'1"?

Hey Gang,

Next on the list is a racing seat. The car is a '99 FRC and I'm 6'1" tall, 175 lbs. I'd like to get something that gets me down as low as possible - with a helmet on I"m basically on the headliner as it is.

The car is also my daily driver, and has the stock seatbelts in it still (as well as provisions for the 6-pt harness).

Any suggestions for my a guy my size?

Just one of a few suggestions you will get... I have the Corbeau FX1 Pros in my car and they fit great. I have them side mounted and they are almost on the floor. With my helmet on I still have space above me. Im 6'1 - 200#

Kirkey or Ultra shield. They both are good quality and comfortable

I have a Corbeau FX-1 (and an FX-1 wide) available for sale - New In Box. I liked them but went with an aluminum seat that could be adjusted to fit in the smaller C4 cockpit.

Make a reasonable offer.

I have a Sparco Evo II+ with hardbar mounts. The seat is touching the floor and I have plenty of room. I'm 6'2" and 200lbs.
