IT may be time for me to buy a seat I can use on the track. Any suggestions? I need the lowest seat position as I am 6'1 and with the helmet I have to angle the seat back to clear head room.

I love my sparco Sprint I made my own seat bracket, its pretty much on the floor lmao

 

Love my Sparco Circuit Pro. I'd just scour local car forums for a project part out, happens more often then you'd think.

 

I have Sparco sprints too, they're f'in awesome. you dont even budge around corners and they're nice and comfy and light.
im 6'0 and have never had a problem with wearing my helmet
they also have lots of side clearance if you ever wanted to put a cage in

 

Do these fit the stock mounts? Was thinking the corsa or the pro2000

 

I have some pieces of 1/4" steel flat stock across the bottom bolted to the seat and the stock rails bolted to that
thats how i got them

 

I have a Sparco Pro 2000 and like it allot.
As far as installing the seat, i had to use the Sparco side mounts and fab up some mounting plates to get the seat to the proper height (almost on the floor) which i’m sure you will have to do as well.....not a hard task at all. With that being said i’m sure you can get a bolt in seat as well, just remember your helmet will add a few inches
By the way riding in your car with the stock seats was no easy task

 

I should have sat in your car to see the seat. I will probable just get someone to fab them to the floor as I like to be close enough to the steering wheel.

Ya I have red marks on both my legs and back from bouncing around...

Thanks for sitting in to give some pointers.

 

 

Funny. Looks like the seat you've been sporting. Come to the next Sigma Event.... There were a few FD's and it would be nice to see yours out there.... Place for you to stay.... Some cheap beer for you to drink too

 

yea i am same same height and i have the same problem

i have been looking at th bride lowmax....... the knock off is a retty good price

I'm 6'1" and had MOMO Start 2007s and my head cleared with a few inches to spare. It is however a fixed seat though.

 

Whatever you do don't get a seat with the internal tube metal frame. Not nearly as comfortable and doesn't allow for as much feedback from the car. Also with your main purpose being lapping events or TA you'll be in and out of the car often when using it and a formed seat will last longer and wear better.

 

I ran the Sparco Speed last year, it's a tube frame seat. Actually I found that the seat was incredibly comfortable because it actually hung you in between the steel tubes, took a road trip to michigan last year and the seat felt amazing.

That being said, you're probably right about the feedback. I ultimately ditched the seat for an OMP seat that is a formed fiberglass seat because I want to run a 6pt harness but the speed only takes a 4 point.

In terms of helmet height, the sparco speed actually gave me much more headroom because my *** actually hung below the 4 mounting bolts (its a bottom mount). The OMP sits me probably 1" higher

The sparco was also smaller and easier to fit in my puny FD cockpit
