I don't know how the fit would be. I do have a friend selling a pair of NEW monza seats for 1000. I'll try and see if I can get the dimensions.

Dimensions are on Sparco's website. They look like they'll be very close. And, of course, Sparco does not make brackets so you have to make your own.

whats the widest on the shoulders you can fit in an fd, i dont want to "wings" to touch the door. i also looked at some corbeau's , i like the a4 and they look like they might fit...... another thing is that i want to get a 4 pt harness also, where does it hook up to? i know i need to get a harness bar for the top 2 pts. also with the harness bar can i still put on the center divider??

Those are slightly larger than the Torino's or Milano's (as both of those are already tight fits in the FD).

The Corbeau A4's fit fine in the FD. The CR1's fit as well, but like the Sparcos they are tight.

As far as an upgraded rear strut tower bar for mounting a harness and keeping the rear divider, that depends on the strut bar. I believe M2's rear strut bar allows the rear divider to still be used.

thanks mahjik , do you know where i could get an m2 bar? , i heard they have gone out of business. i am also going to call rx7store to see if the rotary extreme fits with the divider.

rynberg

The Rotary Extreme bar works with both the divider AND the hatch cover. However, it still uses the OEM shock mount portions -- ie, it's just a beefier bar. This may be fine, I wish someone knowledgable in this area would compare the M2 and the RE harness bars.

For those looking for a street-use seat that offers more support than the stockers, I continue to recommend the Corbeau CR-1. The seat is comfortable but very supportive, is half the weight of the stock seats, only costs $400/seat in cloth, and comes with FD-specific brackets.

As far as fitment goes, it's the shoulder wings that typically present the problem, not the seat base.

4-point harness: shoulder straps to harness bar, lap belts can use stock seatbelt bolts or make your own holes.
