I am a 32" waist also and prefer a 16" seat because I like a snug fit but I do still enjoy just a little wiggle room.
As mentioned before do not even begin to think of buying any aluminum racing seat that may be used on the street (even if it is to the gas station 3 miles away once a month) just but the Kirkey Pro Street seat. They are unbelievably comfortable for an aluminum seat, and personally I prefer them over me old leather Trans Am seats with lumbar controls...

How do the kirkey's mount? is there a slider availabel for it? Me and my dad will run this car and im 5'8 and he' 6'1 so we need it to adjust. We built a adjuster for the back of our seat to attach it to the cage.

How tall are you? That will determine where the seat is mounted and what you can fit in the car.
If you can live with the seat on the floor the kirkey will work fine.
I have a 41700 prostreet seat in my car, I'm about 6'3 275, and that's snug but I feel safe in it. At your waist side you would be fine with a 16 maybe even a 15, you'd have to try them.
Prostreet is the way to go though, no side bolsters to deal with.

^^^ agree with what he said. im a 32 waist and i went with a 17 because im still young at being only 20 and only weighing 140lbs and being 5'8'' so i gave myself a little bit of room to grow into the seat aswell. my seats are mounted to a brace that chuck at burkhart made. due to the speeds ill be running i couldnt run a slider or adjustable bracket. i had to have a stationary mount done.

I've seen some people mount the Kirkey's without any bracket and that joker is on the floor!

idk guys but my kirkey economy is pretty comfortable to me i was sitting in it and fell asleep. haha but the pro street does look more comfortable but im not worried about comfort in a race only car. my 2 cents
