After the whole spring install ordeal I have came to the conclusion that Subaru designed the 05 WRX seats for the majority of the overweight American population. Forutunatly my butt hasent expanded to the size of a walrus’s ass yet. This makes for scary situations while driving in a spirited manner as I seem to be concentrating more on keeping myself on one side of the seat or the other rather than driving. I figured it was time for some racing seats (aka BIG $$$$). I didnt find any viable options that would let me keep the side air bag wich I would preferably not loose. USDM STi seats supposedly have the same “wide” seat and JDM STi seats are supposedly made for skinnier people but dont have side air bags. 02-03 WRX seats have the air bags and are made for skinnier people but are ugly as sin compared to the stock 05′s. I eventually stumbled across a thread on www.clubwrx.net where someone mentioned the CG-Lock ( http://www.cg-lock.com ). It allows for tightning the lap portion of the stock seat belts to keep you in position while taking a corner at a decent clip. I havent orderd them yet but they are relativly cheap @ $41 for one or $75 for a set of two. I’ll probably break down and order them this upcomming week.
