Racing seats that fit in an FC?

Is there a list of the seats that fit in an FC? Or the maximum dimensions? I was looking to the Sparco Evo for my FC.

Pictures would be apperciated!

ive seen just about everything? there is a set of bride seat rails for sale in the for sale section right now but alot of people make there own brackets. Whats is your budget/goal? Do you want them fixed or be able to recline? Are you looking to spend 100$ per seat or around a 1000$ per seat and up? Are you looking for a steel framed seat, fiberglass, carbonfiber/kevlar or aluminum?

Fixed back, FRP, under $1000. I'd probably just buy brackets.

Corbeau FX1. I know it's on the bottom end of fixed mounts, but if you take the measurements you chould be able to compare it to other seats. It's the model that fits up to 38" waists.

I'm going to finish my install soon. I'm 6', and with sidemounts, sliders, and grinding off the bottom mount pedestals I should actually sit lower than the stock seat. If you wanted to you could ditch the slider and have to work the pedals like a formula car lol.

For an FC3S, pretty much any fixed seat will Fit with some exceptions (such as sparco EVO 3's / EVO L's) from what's been posted in the past. Find the seatback "wing" dimensions of those on the sparco site and that should give you a good idea of what will work and what won't.
