I'm surprised you fit in the car at all as far as height is concerned. Width wise, you might be un comfortable on your kidneys, especially on a daily driving basis

That's not surprising. My wife' has a pontiac G8 is a big *** sedan, but when I wear my beret (Army) it hits the roof, but my 370z has plenty of room, especially with the LO Max Brides.

I was able to completely get rid of my airbag light on my dash now. When you remove the stock seats, you are removing SRS airbags that are inside the stock seat shoulders. So you get a flashing airbag light blinking on your dash with racing seats. I went ahead and chopped the connector off the stock seat (a wire that hangs out the bottom of the seat) and soldered in a 4.7 ohm, 1/2 watt resistor on it - to create a loop. I reconnected the connector to the car under my bride seats, did the airbag reset thing, and cleared the airbag light. Tada no airbag light. Below is a album with pictures and descriptions. I'll make a how-to soon. Thanks to MODshack for the resistor spec info!

these would absolutely not be the right seat for you in that case I am 5'11, 195 lbs myself. We had the Gias in our Evo for maybe 2 weeks. Ended up swapping them out for Recaro's, as I just could not get comfortable in them at all. At 6'4, 230, I would suggest you find somewhere that offers seats to try out first, as you are going to have a much narrower range of seats to choose from |

They are not particularly wide seats, and they have minimal padding to them. A great seat for smaller guys though, and one of the most popular we offer (we're one of the largest Bride dealers in the US)
If you pm me what you're goals are with an aftermarket seat, budget, and what you like/don't like about stock ones, I'd be happy to work with you to find a suitable aftermarket one. |
