I don't know alot, but I have Sparco Torino 2 in my car. I'm 5'8" and 130lbs. And they are snug on me.

I think your going to have a bit of a rough time finding "racing style" seats that aren't going to be rubbing on you.

Just my 2 cents. I'm sure others will chime in though.

I am 6'2" and I got the Corbeau brackets for my A4 seats and I had to take them to a shop and have them take an inch of the rear of the drivers seat bracket. I have about an inch now before my head hits the roof. Plus the Corbeau brackets are adjustable still.

I went and measured my A4 seats. There is 2" between my seat and the door. The A4 wide is 1 " wider then the normal A4 seats, so the A4 wide should fit fine.

randy...u the man!! thanks bro...i do believe u measure between the highest wing point to the door inner side..if that's the case ur right..and i will place orders for these seats...i do have regular corbeau brackets..i believe they are too high i might go for the low mount planted technology brackets and shave 1 inch off my seat back.

I am 6'2" and in my stock seats my head was rubbing the roof. I had 1" shaved off my drivers seat. I got Corbeau brackets and had 1" shaved off the rear of the drivers bracket at a shop. Lots of head room now. The 1" shaved from the stat was done when I ordered the seats.
