Sparco Roadster Seats: Do they Fit?

From the searching I've done, I've seen that people heard of other people having them in their cars. I have some cheapo EBay seats just sitting in my FD (no space inside) and they hit the door panel when it closes. Luckily the seats aren't bolted down. I'd really like somethine low profile since I'm 6'4" and even the EBay seats just sitting on the floor (no brackets) seem pretty tall to me!

Any help is appreciated!

I don't know if they fit or not, but I've personally seen a set in a first gen Miata (they have very small interiors). I sat in it and it's a very nice seat, not as supportive as a real racing seat, but a good compromise for the street, vert comfortable for me (at least in the minute or so I sat in it). I'm 6'3" by the way, so they fit tall people too.

Check out this link, it has lots of good fitment info. Knowing that the Milanos barely fit, it looks like they *may* also barely fit (edit: dclin got them to fit, so it is indeed possible). You want to look at Columns 'B' and 'D' to check fitment, and in both cases the roadster is marginally (like tenths of an inch) larger.

did you wind up putting the roadster seat in? if so, can you show me some pics? specifically looking for pics of bracket/rail. i have stock slider i can use which may help IF it can be modified to fix the sparco side mount brackets. but i would think it would put the seat too high. may have to bolt the side mounts directly to the floor.
