UPDATE after the installs:

Well Z fans, Here we are just about 1 month in with the New Sparco EVO XL QRT seats in the car. I must say they are an excellent upgrade from the factory units. They remain solid and planted as they should be. I get a few squeaks from my seat but it's not a problem. Overall comfort wise, I fit well in this seat and feel like it is properly adjusted to fit my driving style. Even after an hour in it, I fell good about it. I am using the 5 point Schroth belts when I drive, they hold like you expect. You are truly part of the car when you drive with these seat in place. As to the Passenger side, adding the Sparco Sliders to the passenger seat might not be a permanent choice here. The additional noise and rattles while driving is less than desirable, so they could come out in the future. I'll also need to get a few right seat reviews before I can comment on how that side feels. More in the future for those that might be tracking this thread.

In the mean time big shout-out to Sparco for producing a well fitted racing seat for larger guys like me. Thank you Sparco.

If you have any questions about this install, don't hesitate to ask or PM me for details.

One last thing: I did buy a collection of lumbar cushions from Sparco for the seats. So far the I like the large rectangular one for the drivers seat, it adds just enough lumbar support for my taste. I also have 4x of the smaller diamond shaped ones in the passenger seat for their comfort and adjustment. Jury is still out on those.
