For the Average American which seats are not hip/nut crushers... we aren't all JDM sized..

I sat in some Bride Stradia seats the other day. Very nice, and only a little smaller than my Buddy Club P1 XLs.
I then sat in a Recaro SPG, and that's definately a tight fit!
I'm a 34" waist, and not much fat on me, and think they would be uncomfortable after a short while.

WOW! Really?? 
a crow bar? why not just get a drill and (egg ball) make the mounting holes on both sides a little wider side ways and then the seat will bolt in with no hassle? (common sense)

Only the 4th bolt was off from the factory mounting positions and it was only off by about 1/2 of the bolt width. The crow bar was used to push final bolt location of the rail outwards toward the tranny tunnel. Its hard to get that mounting point when using a fixed back.
SO drilling another hole with a cap nut would just have weakened the mounting location.
+ If I ever decide to go back to stocks seats for a crazy reason I still can because the factory points are intact.

And its not commons sense until you see first hand what the exact issue was and it was not a major issue just could not get to it any other way.

Ok fellas I am struggling and need some help.
I have Buddy Club Racing Spec seats (wide version) and the buddy club rails. I am trying to mount them in a AP1.
I have had zero luck getting them to fit at all. The seats hit the tunnel and the door and the door and the console in the shoulders. I can get the inside rail to line up to the mounting holes but then the seat is crooked and the outer rail is no where near fitting.
Do these seats really fit or not. Just setting the seat in the car with no bracket it hits everywhere. I dont see how its possible.
My next question would be what fits with no BS....just bolts in. Looks like pole positions are a good bet. Anything cheaper?
Thanks

My lower back would be a little sore after sitting in the stock seats for more than an hour, but not with the spg. I've also sat in a pole position, and while it is more comfortable and easier to get in/out of, the spgs hold me in a lot better.
It does rub the door panel a little bit, but it's nothing major.
