Seats For Fat Guys

[DAS KAMU]

the drivers seat in my 32gtr has leaned badly to one side since i got it

i fit perfectly into that seat and would like to replace it with a bride - recaro etc

are there any around the same specs width wise as a 32gtr

I too am a man of large stature; in all dimensions (except where the ladies want it )

I'm having trouble finding a seat to fit me, if you're after a fixed back, forget about it and all the reclining ones that'll contain my massive ass don't offer any support.

Your best option would be to get some new GTR seats.

I find R32 GTR seats tiny across the shoulders - my shoulders are wider then the seat so im ON it rather than IN it.... I ended up getting R34 GTR seats which are way better, and they bolt in. Great support. IMO the only way with seats is to sit in one before you buy. The mount points arent straightfoward in GTRs, so i'd guess fitting a custom seat would require a fair bit of custom work.

i should look at recaros i guess as there western made right?

velo seats have sizes. the GP90 and podium series have L and XL sizes

i'm 6'5" 100kg and fit perfectly

I have a set of Sparco Evo2plus seats for sale and would fit a size 38 waist snug.

Yeah I'm the same size as you and I just got the Sparco evo3, $1099 each, fits like a glove. Amazing.

I got mine from Revolution Racegear.

And they're so light I almost hit my self in the face picking it up Lol

Cobra also make bigger seats. That's what my car has in it and it's really comfortable

Bride are no good if you have child bearing hips.

Velo on the other hand are recommended for the larger of frame.

fsport.com.au are a nsw velo distributor, maybe contact them to see what they have in stock for you to test if you are nsw based.

I sat in a bunch of sparco seats at summernats and was surprised at how tight some of them were - i'm not a big framed guy - 5'11 size 34 but some of those seats were too small. Evo 2+ or 3 would be the go in that range.
