I can go measure from bolster to bolster in my SR4's(DC5) for you. I'll post it up here so other people can find out. Any other measurements?

I will go measure SR3's(DC2) aswell

[Crapdaz]

YOU HAVE A BIG BUM?
lmao worry i can't fit either i want to know as well.

[MikeyG]

can u mesaure the actual seat aswell not from bolster to bolster.. and yes i do have a big bum not that huge tho..i just want recaros god dammit :(

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

x3 to know sizes

/bic boii

[finalazy]

bigger bum will only mean the seats will hug you tighter :thumbsup:

[MikeyG]

yea i know that but i was siting in my mates old eg (chi's younger bro) and i was seating on the bolsters :( :o so yeah.. but it was dc2 recaros tho so yeah :( :o

SR4. From bolster to bolster i measured roughly 315mm (part closest to the back of the seat) and 380mm at the part where the bolsters finish.

SR3. Wasn't able to measure them because my mate wasn't home yet but my friend said they are thinner than the DC5 recaros.

[tRipitaka]

big boys = sr4
smaller slimmer boys = sr3

^ I disagree, the sr3's are tighter on the shoulders and wider on the bottom, while the sr4's are tighter on the bottom and wider on the shoulders, have tested it a few times, on my mates car (sr3) and my (sr4) , thats what I found the case was, unless you get really used ones where the bolsters are completely f**ked, bl , because I doubt you will be able to hop in any of those without stretching / damaging the bolsters if you were having problems in a sr3

[MikeyG]

ok.. so for big boi like myself sr4 or sr3??? :confused:

[markoJEK1]

SR3 they are wider down the bottom, which Id think would suit you more, rather than bigger up at the shoulders? if they combined the SR3 bottom + SR4 top, would be ideal :P

[beeza]

Definately should try b4 ya buy though Mikey.

[absolutR]

sr3 wider at the bottom????????????????

sr3 are slimmer in all dimensions.

[markoJEK1]

yes the overall dimension might be slimmer, but does it specifically state the inside dimensions of both bottom and top bolsters? like I said earlier, I have sr4's and my mate has sr3's , we swtiched and swapped for a few times and both determined that on sr4's its more snug on the bottom and sr3's around the top.. So go figure.

none the less, like beeza said, go and try them out mikey, see if you know anyone that will lend you a test fit in them and go from there

[saxophonias]

good info! Do you know how much they weigh?

[markoJEK1]

From memory my SR4's + rails are 20kg roughly

[RtN]

ask someone at the meet if you can sit in them lol. have a feel.

[Q_ball]

Go sit in some at the next meet.

If you're a big boy, then you're not going to have that much luck with ANY bucket seat as it will be too uncomfortable.

I would have to disagree with markoJEK1. I drove around 15 DC2R's, and 10 DC5R's when I was going to buy my car. SR4's are much wider everywhere. Compared these side by side SR3, and 4's I think the SR3's are much tighter.

the sr3's are much tighter.. i agree with ya vtecmachine :p

[markoJEK1]

Fair enough. Comes down to condition of the seats too I guess, mine were practically new while my mates have been used for some time prior to his purchase.

sr4 imo for big boys
