Kirkey pro-street seat

What width size seat does everyone use? I'm upgrading my 10 pt. cage to 25.5 and still have factory interior.

Depends on how wide your a** is.....

FWIW, I am 6' and 185 lbs and am using a 17.5" seat.

Re: Kirkey pro-street seat

I'm 5'11 and 195lbs and I'm using the 41700(17" hip), fits awesome.

I just installed the cage in my car so I haven't driven or raced with them yet, but I have made motor sounds while sitting in the seat

Seriously, go to their site, they say how to measure your butt for the right seat.

Re: Kirkey pro-street seat

If you're going to put kirkey's into a 3rd gen for the driver seat, use this! I did.

As for the passenger side( if you're putting in a kirkey there), don't use this!

It doesn't work.

I did this for the passenger

Then drilled holes in the back, put some square tubing underneath it and bolted it to the stock bolts
