unreal- is an unknown quantity at this point
i also have a Buddy Club wide/Nagisa Rail Combo. Im 6'5 270 with a 38 waist. The bottom half of me fits juuuuust right in the bottom half of the seat. Its a bit snug. Top half is another story. Maybe its my build, but its very tight on the ribcage, and my shoulders rest on TOP of the wings on the side of the seat. Im slouched foward, and cant put my back flat against the seat.

Basically i wouldnt recommend the seat if you are a tall guy with a wide torso.

Nagisa rails: they are nice rails, but the buddy club wide is a bit TOO wide for the rails. It took me a solid 2-3hrs to get the seat and rails to fit in my car (S14) and line up. The specs for the rails call for a MAXIMUM seat width of 400mm. The buddy clubs are 415mm. They will fit if you loosen the bolts that mount to the seat and the bolts that mount to the chassis and kind of push the rails inwards while tightening the chassis bolts. Pain in the ass. And to make things more complicated the seat is angled a bit to the right, and its off center a bit, and i have reached maximum adjustabillity for the side mounts (the mounts themselves hit the trans tunnel side and wont adjust anymore). To make things easier i would use another rail, or custom mounts. It also interferes with the gas/trunk handle. I played with my rails enough so that i kind of wore a chunk out of the handle, so it moves freely.

Besides that, the seat is pretty comfy if your body type allows it lol.

That said, Im going to be getting a sparco EVO3 and custom mounting it in a few months. Need a bigger seat that actually FITS me and leaves a bit of room.
