Hey Guys,  
I’m looking for an affordable bucket seat (non-reclinable) for my S13 coupe (with power sunroof). I have a few considerations that I am looking at during my search.

1. I am a 38" waist…not a small guy but not HUGE
2. I am worried about clearance between the roof and the top of the seat considering I drive a S13 with a power sunroof…so I have even less then the guys with no/moonroofs
3. It has to be affordable. Too me…the $800+ for ONE Sparco Evo3 seems a little much…but if all in all that’s the only/best choice I will just save more.
4. I do not care what company makes it as long as it is a good seat that I can use at the track and not worry about safety issues.

What do you guys think is the best choice out there?

swing by JRP and test fit the seats before settling down with your purchase, try out the Sparco Fighter or the Sparco Pro 2000 as well.

I have a set of corbeau forzas, I have a 30" waist. The forza II, which are now called the forza wide are made for a larger waste. They are affordable and feel great.

Mine are mounted with stationary brackets so dont compare the height with mine. But a set of aftermarket brackets should be about the same height.

I can tell you if you use side mount brackets you’ll gain a few inches of headroom over the stock seats with a good bucket. I have tons of room with my Bride, and a fixed bucket can swing you even more room, depending on how you mount it.
