I'm 5'10 36-38" sat in this seat today and for great. Looked at several seats in person and this seems like the smallest that has a medium size fit. Placing order tomorrow for it

Shoulder support on my 15" seat just touch the door. I don't think you can go any bigger with out bending the seat.

I have tried a fair few seats in my time, and I would describe this as 'roomy' for someone of my build. Very comfortable though. In an ideal workd I would like it probably an inch narrower.

I'm using gsm seat rails, a uk company, they are basically a direct copy of the buddy club rails.

Any other questions just let me know

I'd like to hear more about the bimarco seats
mine shipped on the 8th. should be here in a few weeks. I'll post up some info once i got it
Any update?

I've had it in the car for about 4 events so far.
Its a big seat much wider than the old buddyclub bucket seat I had before.
I had to hammer the lip on the trans tunnel to make it fit even then the seat does touch the door.
I have a 34" waist and 6'2 and the seat is taller than me and wider than me.
When I installed it with the BC rails I had to remove the slider bar because the seat is wider than that. I also had to flip one of the side mounts on the BC rails but in the end it works.
Another thing is I couldn't set the seat at full tilt due to hitting the roll bar.

I can snap pics if people are interested

Found it on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271546905617...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It was listed at $764 for a long time. Then I saw that he had dropped it to $688. I missed out on a Recaro pro racer SPG XL and decided to just bite the bullet.
