Hi,

I am interested in buying these seats from sparco:

Has anyone tried to install any sparco seat in their 3rd gen? If so, pics would help.

 

They would work fine. Could modify your stock rails to fit or run sparco rails if they provide them. I have corbeau forzas in my car and dimensionally they are about the same. Sparco is alittle taller and longer but should fit well since my forzas work great

 

Orr,

How do you like those Corbeau seats? Do you do much street driving with those seats? Are they comfortable on the street?

 

I do alot of street driving on them and I love them. Never any long trips but wouldnt be a problem. They fit my frame size well, i'm 5'9" 170. They feel very tight on turns and i love to do alittle corner carving. I reused my power seat bracket so i can get the back incline abit more declined. It makes them abit more comfortable. They are fixed back 72 deg angle seats so they do sit up pretty straight but it is comfortable. If you get a reclining seat then you will be set for comfort.

 

I put in some similar racing seats in my car and it gave me a bit of a headache, but not too much. Though, I was in a position to fabricate all new seat brackets, but I did it all without welding. Drill press, angle grinder, sheet metal (16ga or thicker steel is a must) and of course a can of rustoleum.

If you put a racing harness in, make sure you do it right and latch the rear belt 2 points to a roll cage. Or at least have someone put a harness bar in. Theoretically, it could be done by connecting the two rear seat belt brackets with a single bar, and just clamping them to that.

but all that stuff will be application specific.

 

Here's my Thread. some good Spine-saving information.

Thanks. I am prolly going to use the stock belts till I get my cage put in.
