The curvy parts of the bracket point towards the door. Is it possible to mount them the other way? I never tried, I just thought this was the only way they go on.


Don't mind the belt buckle in the picture, quickly learned that setup didn't work.

If you have a 32" waist or skinnier, the profi spg is one of the best. Holds you in place way better than the pole position. Plus you can use the Nagisa seat rails. Quality rails, very smooth sliding

Yeah I'm fat. I'm down to a 34" waist and the seat is still super comfy and supportive, was still fine with a 36" waist too.

Hmmm I wonder if I could fit in a pole position. I'm like a 38' waist line now and I'm 6'2.

I've reviewed this thread pretty thoroughly. I just bought a silver 2002 s2k and am now realizing that at 6'3" I'm too tall for the stock seats to be comfortable (knee space is lacking and my line of sight is near the top of the windshield).

Looks to me like the Ballade Sport Ultra Low seat rail is the way to go (mounts all aftermarket seats as low as possible).

I'm now weighing 2 recaro aftermarket seat options:
1) Recaro Pole Position
The jersey red suede pole position pictured in this thread looks really nice. But being a full bucket seat I'm concerned about comfort.
How do people find the comfort of the pole position in the s2k? I just drive backroads to work, etc...

2) Recaro Sport: http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/pimg/sm/sport.LL11.jpg
The Recaro Sport in black leather looks great but I'm concerned it won't be able to be mounted low enough to get the knee relief I'm most interested in. Which kills the whole point of this exercise. Anyone have any experience with the Recaro Sport in the s2k?

Any advice would be _very_ much appreciated.

IMO, the pole position is more comfortable than the stock seat. I DD mine with zero issues and I have less lower back pain with the PP vs the oem seat.
