Need some Kirkey's help!
There are a ton of options for kirkey seats to go in an F-body, so I have some questions that I am not finding the answers for.
What height should I be looking for or limited to?
What depth " "?
And the layback degree? Or is that preference?
I am also 5'8 @ 170lbs w/ a 32ish waist, it seems from what I have found that a 17" seat is for 200lbs+ and a big waste. Ideas?
Thanks.

Get 17" wide. I'm 6'1" 170 lbs and they fit me fine. Remember that you need to account for padding, clothing, etc.

I find the seat plenty deep, like I said I'm bigger then most and I fit in it fine. I mounted mine right on the floor on the back 2 studs, and leaned them back until I was comforable, and had the cage mounts built to come forward to the seat. Solid mounted, and they fit great IMO.

i don't have the drag seat like everyone else, its some fancy $400 one. if you can sit in one before you buy it, i'd suggest seeing whats comfortable to you. if not, 15 inch will fit you and a 16 inch will give you wiggle room. i drive in mine every day and the only time it annoys me is when i go on drives longer than 1.5 hours, my legs get a little restless and i just scoot up a hot minute. recline angle is up to you. check what you like in your stock seat. i prefer a straighter back but others like to lean.
