We have a couple Status seats in our showroom if you do decide you want to swing by. We're actually really close to those "Other guys" that are doing your build

Ksport USA is a stones throw from us and the "other guys" as well. It seems like there's little clusters of performance shops around the valley. I've always attributed it to one business moves, sees a nice empty place and tells another shop/business owner, who moves in, and so on.

I'm only 6'0" and 210 lbs, and I've had trouble fitting in several aftermarket seats. Keep in mind that a lot of the popular JDM track ready seats are designed for smaller people.

Yep pretty much. Glad i made the cut to start a thread like this.

If youd like a REAL picture of my measurements ( super gross btw, you never said no homo),

im 16 % BF, im 6'4" and 240 lbs.

My walk in bench weight is 225 and i max 330.

SO yes, it appears i in fact do NOT fit in seats built for the standard chinaman, hence a thread like this.. haha. jk. Cmon.
