Kirkey seat question

Post by joker717 »

Okay here is the deal, Ive got two seats one is 15.5 one is 17 I'm planning on installing the in the next couple weeks. The 15.5 is very snug which I feel more stable and secure with,but I'm worried it might restrict movement. The 17 still feels secure but almost too big. I guess I'm asking how snug is too snug? How much movement do I need? I like the feel of the smaller seat but don't want to hinder myself.

Exactly. You are in it for probably two minutes at a time. You want to be snug in the seat.

Thanks the smaller seat it is then and the bigger one will be on the passenger side.

I've co-driven a few cars with bigger seats than I'd chose and have bruised my ribs as a result.
