Do you have any pics of the setup?

I am 6'1 235lbs longer torso I was concern with seat and the helmet to. I installed the recaro spg and nagasi rails and work great. I put it to the lowest setting and I have like 3 inches of head room still.

PHIL is my absolute hero.

I just bought the FX1's too, non-wide edition and my fat 275lbs fits... It's a bit snug but as I lose a bit of weight it'll be perfect.

They're really light and I'd venture to say they are better then the FIA/SFI approved Corbeau Forza.

sorry i dont mean to hijack your thread but, will removing one seat disable BOTH front airbags? or just the one associated seat?

Im planning on removing my passenger seat, and it would be great to know. Thanks in advance!

I believe it's just one airbag but I could be wrong.

Running a Recaro Pole Position on a Planted seat base, no sliders. Sits a little bit lower then the OEM seat height but not by much (or at least it doesn't seem like it). Can upload some pictures later.

*edit: for reference, I'm 5'8 and roughly ~150lbs

I am running a Bimarco futura, FIA approved for larger folks, upp to 200cm long and 75-110kg in body weight, it's a little bit large for me
But it fits in the twins whi out any hassle and the price is under 400$ for a 8kg seat.

I've been trying to figure out what I think is the same thing. With the OEM Seat, my helmet is very close to the roof, I would like to find a way to get a tish lower.

I was thinking sparco side mounts would work and great i would love to see them in the twins I'm pretty sure these are the seats I'm getting.

Thank you!
