I'm ready to sell my FFR leather seats and put in some race seats - for more support, but also to get headrests.

What fits in a 33? Can be a *tight* fit, I'll make it work :D

Space for 5 point harness as a bonus.

Just to post back here, I chose these and just ordered them in 17" width. I *measure* as 16" and I want them to be tight, but it's hard to know what each size will feel like, especially with the cover/padding on. So I compromised and got 17" :)

18 (at least in my car) may be a smidge too wide at the front of the seat, so we'll see.. you can see if I made a mistake shortly :D

James, these are good seats, a lot of guy I know around here who race dirt track modifieds run them and some of them and been flipped several times in their cars and walked away without issues.

I've sat in them a few times, I wouldn't drive far distances (road trips) on them due to lack of comfort but for racing they should be great.

Thanks Jim! Luckily I’m well padded ;)

But seriously I can always add more padding where and if needed
