Default Seats again....

I'm in the market for some good aftermarket seats. I do have a budget but more important is gonna be comfort. Here are my personal specs; 6'5" 225lbs. Not the biggest guy but a tad larger than most I think. I always let the back as far as I can and then try for a bit more. With this seat, I will mount it a bit further back than stock seat all the way back! Maybe I should just remove the fronts and sit in the back? Anyhow, most of the time I have to throw budget out in place of what fits. Does anybody have any suggestions? I was thinking Corbeau? I also would prefer cloth. Any help would be awesome!

Bump for you. I'm 6'5" 220lbs and have been exploring this as well and can't make up my mind on what's going to work best.

Start a seat/bracket thread already, for larger people the Corbeau FX1 wide or normal is a good seat

6'3 and around 300lbs I would look into racetech seats. the 4009w, 4000w, or a 4119w if you want all out racecar seat.

6'3" 240 here. If you are looking for all out racing seats I love my ultrashield. I prefer aluminum seats because they can easily be modified. Mine is a full containment and they made it a little taller to fit my shoulders.
