Need some Kirkey's help!
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'm 6'3 260 (and dropping, was 290) and I have the 17 inch wide pro street, # 41700.
They were tight, but they're getting to the point that I fit in them good.
You skinny guys could probably go with a 15 and be o.k., and a 15 fits in the car alot easier fwiw.

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.

6-0, 175 the 17s are good, for all around. I can still barley get my wallet out with the harness off. But when it cold out, Im snugg with jacket.
The 16 would be snugg for a track car, I would get them if the car was on a trailored ect.

I guess the 41700, I bought one used from a friend but would want to 16 if my car was fast. The layback was the normal 18* I think all the prodrag come. The other is the eccomy with the bigger sides I htink you can get in 20- and 18*?.
3 questions
1. would i need the same size seat?
2.how uncomfortable are these for a daily driver?
3. what recline angle?
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.
