Sparco roadster seats in a FD (pics)

Well I managed to get a Sparco Roadster seat today to see how it fits. I was just playing around with it to see how the fitment went. Well I got tired of messing with it and didn't feel like taking the Sparco rails off too see for sure how it fits. But to my conclusion it will fit. Here are the pics I took of the way I had it to fit in my position. BTW the seat is very confy specially for me. I'm 5,11" 210 lbs with a 36-38 waist. Hopefully some one has a set of this and can give more inputs.

Wow I really like the look of those Sparcos. The big side bolsters definitely will come in handy....

to get it to mount. Where the Sparco rails would go is wider than the factory ones. Then once you do that you realize that the shoulders are going to hit the door so you have to raise it a bit more. You will end up sitting hi with this seats I think. All I just did with that ones is move it around and see. The only way I could get it to fit nice was if the seat was actually as low as possible. For some reason it fit perffect sitting with the rails it supply but they were too wide. I just play with it for about 15 mins.
