So do it right and then you won't have to worry about whether your equipment is up to the task of protecting you.

The best advice so far!

Maytag - I ran fixed back seats (Recaro Profi SPG) in my Boxster and M3 for years on the street as they were dual purpose cars. No issues, just a little harder to get in and out of the car.

As other have said, sit in as many seats as you can to find one that works for you.

For me, Recaro Profi SPG (non-XL version) was like a child seat - the shoulder belt holes were in the right location and Shoulder wings were a good fit. (vs Recaro Pole Position which was too low) but my butt could barely fit in the seat, 36" waist, 34" inseam, 6'2" 240-245 pounds. But I could fit if I jammed in there very tight. I used to have one on my passenger side but I sold it and replaced with another Profi XL. If your waist is smaller it might be a great fit for you
