        Anyone have experience sitting in both a recaro spg and a bride zeta 3? I'm thinking about buying a set of used spg's but want some opinions on fitment. My buddy's zeta 3 is a tight fit. The waist is fine, however the shoulder bolsters make me scrunch my shoulders forward. I'm mainly curious about the shoulder bolsters on the SPG's. Yes there are other options, but id like to stick with German made recaro.

        Spg XL (ugly AF), pole positions (I know I fit well but the harness holes are a bit too low if I recall correctly and don't look as good).

        The car is my daily, but I'm totally cool with an aggressive bucket.

        I'm young and can get away with firm spring rates, loud exhaust, tight seats, etc. ;)

        Better yet, if anyone has an SPG and is willing to let me sit down in it, that would be awesome!

          I've got an SPG you can sit in but I'm in South Bay. Going to Thunderhill this weekend but I'll probably have the Sparco Circuit in the car instead.

              Any reason you're focused on those two brands and models?

              Try sitting in all the seats you possibly can. The one that fits you the best might surprise you.

              In any case, I have a Sparco Evo 2 Plus (aka, taller Evo) and a corbeau FX1-pro, which you're welcome to sit in. I'm on the peninsula.

              If you have the time, go up to Wine Country Motorsports or to another motorsport place and just sit in seats. That's how I found the E2+ fits me like a glove, and that I didn't care for the PP. Haven't sat in SPGs.

              If you're getting a nice seat for track use, make sure it has SFI and FIA ratings. I'm not sure if Brides do, and since I almost never see them at track days, I'd be hesitant to buy them.

                          you go through jobs like i go through cars. seems like you've had your fair share of landing jobs that turn shitty way too fast.

                          GL with this one! doing 60h/week on something you hate sucks too much.

                            The last one was almost 2 years. But yeah, startups are like that sometimes.
