If you want easy drop-in, you need to be looking at Corbeau. They are the only ones that make brackets specifically for FDs. Well, Recaro Japan does as well but they are $$$$.

And no, the Sparco Fighter won't fit, the shoulder wings are too wide. Check out the Corbeau CR-1 for a very good street/track seat. If you're set on Sparcos, look at the Milano, it's a little narrower than the Fighter.

If you are looking for pure race seats instead, try the Corbeau Forza or Sparco Sprint/Ultra.

Of course, there's always the Recaro SPG if you want to spend more.....

You need to remove your passenger seat (w brackets)
Measure the area where the seats are mounted and compare it with the seats dimensions.
Passnger seat area is smaller than the driver's (don't ask me how I know)
Most racing seats will fit but you may have some rubbing at the seat's widest shoulder area with the door panels.
Good luck!

Sparco Milanos are a very tight fit.
