some nice seats up in here :tup:

I'm looking for headroom for a fat guy thats affordable. Any idea's on a cheap set of seats that sit really low, and are made for a 'murican ***?

Edit: 6'2" 275lbs if your wondering

Wondering if a seat that has a shoulder dimension of 23.2" will fit? From my basic measurements it looks as though they might hit/rub against the door. Does anyone have experience with this?

I have Sparco's EVO on the driver side and EVO-II-US on the passenger. The EVO-II-US will just *barely* fit in the car without running into the stock plastics, but you'll have to be sure to mount it with the correct side-to-side alignment.

Sparco has dimension online for those seats if you want to compare details, but at the shoulders the EVO-II-US is 23.6 inches.

Good to know. Thank you!

The seats I'm looking at are reclining type with Bride rails. I'm not sure if they have much if any side to side adjustment.

I used to have Corbeau TRS in my last ride very light & comfortable for street and track - anyone try Corbeau's in a Z?

Anybody here about the corbeau forza wide's will they fit in our cars? Custom brackets aren't a problem.

Also where was the sparco evo2us tight? the corbeau fx1 is wider on the bottom but has the same shoulder width. the fx1 is an inch wider overall

The spot the seat is most likely to hit (closest to) is the shoulder wing on the outside to the plastics around the door/window frame. It really depends on how you mount, but it does fit even with Sparco's base/rails. Of course without plastics it fits easily and you even have some adjustment room side-to-side (until the lower part of the seat runs into the transmission tunnel anyways).

If you're looking at Sparco Evo-whatevers, something to keep in mind is their mounting solution isn't ideal on this car. They sit a bit higher than e.g. Bride GIAS or whatever; Bride's mounting solution lets the bottom of the bucket protrude down through the plane of the mounting base. Sparco's is a solid base plane with side rails sitting on top of that, and the net result is you're an inch or so higher than you should have to be. I think it can be fixed with some customization of their side-rails, but I didn't bother yet, as the height isn't unworkable, just un-ideal.

i would probably just solid mount the driver's seat at max low and not care about the passenger seat so thats cool. Thats why i was looking at the corbeau seats as they all bottom mount and could just be bolted to the floor.

What are Stradia seats like in a daily? Not as high in bolsters as the Gias... are these easy enough to get in/out of?

I removed the sliders on mine (and drilled new holes in the bases) so that they're solidly-mounted, but using Sparco's base and side-mounts. You do need bases (factory or fabbed, either way), because the floor on this car is pretty convoluted. Mostly, where you can make up the room is in the side-mounts. I don't know if bottom-mount really buys you much given you're going to be fabricating/modifying the mounts regardless.

I was going to get the regular one since its only 19lbs but for safety I'm now going with their new forza sport that's FIA approved.

I wouldn't recommend the Stradias for a daily and no they aren't that easy to get in and out of. I'm 5'9" 165lbs and have to move the seats all the way back and lift my steering wheel all the way up to get out easily.

Yeah I'm looking at the FX1 or it's wide version now, they even have rollbar mounts and are well under 500 a piece.

With the bottom mount and having the seat non adjustable I could just bolt it to the floor with spacers where needed, no?
