I drive an s13 hatchback.

I am 6'1" and need to clear a helmet during autocross and drift.

I weigh approx. 180 lbs.

I drive my car daily and do NOT want strong leg support because of the weiner comfort issue. So I guess I'm looking for a racing seat with good side bolstering without much leg bolstering.

What is a good racing seat/knockoff racing seat to fit my application?

thank you!

i'm 6'2 185 and I have found the $600 Sparco (forget the name of the class of seat) fits me very well

yea seems 240's dont have a lot of head room. When i went autocrossing i had to lean over a little to fit with the helmet. Thats with stock seats. I have Recaro SE's im putting in soon though, but i want to find rails and sliders that sit lower for easy helmet clearence. Anyone know which ones i should look at?

I think as long as the leg bolsters are wide enough apart, your weiner will be fine

I'm 6'5" and run a $39 summitt seat with a $19 cover. it's comfortable and clears a helmet for drag racing.
