Question Sparco Chrono Seats?

I have never in my life switched from stock seats of any vehicle to racing seats of any kind. As im sure all of you know, the stock leather seats in the FD's tend to well, pretty much go to complete **** in the 16 year span since they where installed. I think i found the seats Im going to use as a replacement. I would like a couple opinions on these but im mainly looking for a couple answers.... And yes I did a search.

1) Exactly What do I need to install these in my FD?

2) Where do you get seatbelts? I dont want the 5-6 point harness either.....

Heres the link to the seats btw... http://www.ltbmotorsports.com/spchro.html

I was looking into the same seats.

Specs from Sparco's website

http://www.sparcousa.com/resourceFiles/26.pdf

Base Length: 21.5"
Base Width: 21"
Shoulder Width: 22.5"

Only draw back I see is they are bottom mount, the same as stock. This may keep the seat at the same height where some of us are looking to get a seat that sits lower.

I hope so I'm gonna order one when I figure out everything I need. Still don't know how it mounts or how the seatbelts work.

There is a guy on the v8rx7forum that had alot of trouble just getting these to fit in his FC. The usual rails won't work with that seat. I think he ended up deciding to bolt it to the floor so it sit low enough.

Here is the thread, it includes a part number for the correct rails, but I'm not sure if they'll work for the FD.

Posters above seem to think it will fit. I'm about 5 foot 11 so I'm not too worried about getting the seat low.
