    I'm in the market for a racing seat and I've tried a couple of them already but looking to try a Recaro Profi.
    These are the seats I tried:
    Sparco Evo (a little bit too wide)
    Sparco pro 2000 ( very good fit but pretty hard to get out of it!)
    Sparco Corsa ( a little bit too tight)
    Recaro Pole Position ( good but not enough lateral grip!?)
    Racetech 4009 ( good but pricey and didn't find the quality for the price)

    Car is, also, my DD but looking for a fixed bucket seat. I'm 5'9", 150 pound.

    So, I was wondering if anybody have a Recaro Profi that I could try out.

    Thanks.

    When you buy that style seat, you want it to fit you the way you like. I'd be the same way.

    might try going to a track day, see if you find somebody running the seat and ask to sit in it.

    Funny!
    I went to the last auto x in Atlanta, also the last Caffeine and octane and was able to try a bunch of seats and the pro2000 that griggs81 has in his car. So I pretty know what I want to get but since every seats fits me differently it's pretty hard.
    I went to Discovery parts yesterday and tried another Racetech 4009 (this is the seat that fits me best but the bottom cushion is too long and pricey!). I sat in an OMP WRC and was too wide for me even in the standard size.

    I find this kind of hard to believe, even considering your size. I've got a Pole Position that's been in and out of my 240, and it's perfect. Strap those harnesses down and you won't budge. ;)

    You must be SUPER lanky/thin, haha.

    Not super lanky/thin, just a matter of preferences and what fits me!!!
    I barely fit a Sparco corsa!
