04Z Seat upgrade help
I am looking to upgrade my seats to something that will work for road trips and HPDE's w/harness. I am 5' 10" w/38" waist 210lbs. We have no one who stocks seats in the area and reluctant to order with out a recommendation from some users. Any thoughts on trying to find a set of sports seats, they at least have a slot for the harness? Have checked with local club no luck so far.
Thanks

I have the Bimarco Futuras in my daily driver and love them, but I have a Vert...would not recommend them for a coupe or Z daily driver....the hip bolster is too high for getting in and out of a car with a roof.
For a fixed back seat they are very comfortable though.

I'm 6'2", 240 with a 38 inch waste, and liked the A4...but I went with a fixed back seat for more support because I bend the car hard around curves nearly everyday.
What's your budget?
This will determine what's available to you really.

Most of the seat websites give the measurement specs...if you have a baseline like the A4's that you sat in you can look at the measurement specs at the different websites to to try and find something with a wider base than the A4's...but the problem becomes finding a seat that's wide enough for your *** but small enough to fit in the C5 seat tunnel.

I believe the sport seat uses the same frame as the standard seat. If you wanted, you could buy sport seat foam and covers and use on your frames.
