I am looking at the following seats but i'm not sure if they will fit!

Roadster 2 (I know these fit but not sure if i like the design)
S light Carbon fiber
Fighter

any info?

http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_comp.asp?id=191 (S light Carbon)

http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=199 (Roadster)

http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=198 (fighter)

 

Aren't roadsters made for small convertable cars liek the miata?

 

They are but i have seen poeple in here using them

 

The Fighter will not fit, shoulder wings are way too wide. The S-light might fit.

As with any Sparco seat, you will have to custom fabricate rails for the seats.

 

thought so about the Fighter. The S light looks like it will fit.

 

you'll either love or hate these, but you can't get any lighter. I tried them and you would not believe how comfortable they are. pretty ugly though...

Generally you want to follow the sizing maximums of a Recaro SPG as an example spec. If things are along the same dimensions as a pole position, for instance, you're going to have a bitch of a time getting it to fit in any way which won't be way higher than it should be.

 

I wouldn't buy Sparco seats unless the deal was AMAZING!

Bride or Recaro. Maybe even STATUS check them out!

 

dradon: Sparco seats are fine dude. Good quality.

 

Agreed. Just too common for my liking.

 

Pretty stupid reason to avoid a good brand of seats.

When I see someone with brides, first thing I think is "there's someone who's trying to be special" unless they're a Pro GT driver.

 

Not exactly a good reason to suggest others avoid Sparco seats, but that's no reason to criticize his personal preference.

On topic of the thread; have you considered just getting the OEM RZ or Spirit R seats, or were you going for something cheaper?

 

well i will be going with the S Light Carbon fiber but they have just notified me that they come in Carbon kevlar as well. So i don't know if i will be going with Carbon fiber or Carbon Kevlar. Leaning towards The carbon fiber since the rest of my stuff on the body will be carbon fiber

 

You know how much that **** costs? For a street car?!

 

People buy widebody kits for street cars..........

Everyone has their own tastes thats what makes it a "Customization".

When I see someone with Brides I think "Wow your seats are alot nicer than my stock seats".

I just wouldn't spend these big dollars on Sparco's unless they were the Milano. Think the cash should be spent on something unique otherwise performance/reliability mods thats all. Don't hate.

 

why not get recaro profi spg if you plan to spend that much money, it is cheaper and in carbon kevlar and FIA approved...

 

I personally would go with bride or JIC seats. I havent decided on which one yet, but for fitting purposes, you cant go wrong. If you want to spend and be unique then theres the cobra misanos"mad looking seats!" http://www.subesports.com/products/c...ra/prodID/1560

In the end, if you could, try and sit in them, thats what really makes them the seat you love.

 

reason being for me going with sparcos is because i can get a really good deal on these.

 

Then by all means go for it. I mean if you like the model and the price is right why not buy?

 

Kai, do they rub/hit the door?

bride vios3 and rails fits perfectly, with the added benefit of being the lowest seat in the market. Downside is that it's a little tight for big guys, and it's some what expensive.

 

How did you mount these seats (recaro mounts or custom)? Do they rub the door at all or any panels for that matter?

Edit: Would you also mind listing your height and weight for reference?

 

I used bride low position rails, it rubs the door just a little bit only because I used the bride rails, but with the recaro rails it wont rub the door...
