I need Help deciding on Racing Seats!!
I'm looking at NRG Racing Seats for my car, I was thinking about getting the Medium. The man I spoke to said the Med seat fits up to a 34 waist, I'm a 32 so I thought all was going to work out. I was on their website, and it said that the seat is 15 inches across for the Medium
(so I did some math) finding out that with me sitting my rear end takes up ~14.6 inches. should I go for the Medium seats or the Large which is 15.5 inches across. it will be a looser fit, but It is my understanding that bucket seats are supposed to be a tight fit so the driver does not move around.
I need so advice fast since I am going to place my order in the next 12 hours (so they will be delivered when I need them to be)
Any input will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Cobra seats are going to most likely be the best combination of affordability and safety. Most NRG seats do not meet FIA standards, and that's a pretty big deal if you ever get in an accident
(not saying you will, but a seat does a LOT when it comes to your survival). Modern Bride seats are manufactured in China and do not meet FIA standards as well, just as a forewarning.

I can def understand that and NRG is a legit company so u should be ok. AS far as seat size, if your gonna daily drive ur car I'd say go with a medium for your size

How much do you value your life for? Seats are an essential safety device when driving. I've seen some non-FIA seats fold completely flat on impact, just from the driver/passenger's body weight getting thrown back in the seat.
I'm not trying to be negative about it. I'm just trying to give you as much information about them before purchasing, as you could want.

No I understand your not, I did some research on the whole FIA regulations, and I have yet to find anything about NRG not meeting the regulations.
Im not trying to shoot down what you said, because honestly Id like to read a report, but I just couldent find anything
