Sparco Racing seats

370zFORme!!

Hey guys just trying to get some opinions on Sparco racing seats. I found a couple options in their entry level competition and street series. I do want to eventually track the car in the future and even if I don't, I want to have the option. So, I think I may end up going competition series. I did have a question regarding others experiences with sparco seats. Has anyone installed a sparco bucket seat in the 370? Should I be worried about fitment issues with the door? I've read a couple threads about the door not clearing with some seats, although those were recaros iirc. Any input is appreciated.

I'm looking at two models:

Sparco USA

And

I think as long as you stay under a 23 inch shoulder portion on seats you should be fine. If memory serves me well on the above seats those are under 23 inches for the top shoulder width.

It will slightly depend on the bracket you use as well... If you can use a side mount bracket you can slightly adjust how the seat sits where as an undermount bracket is a fixed position/spot the seat will sit in.

I ran a Corbeau FX1 Pro 23 inches across for shoulder and it rubbed the door slightly with the corbeau bracket but with the side mount Buddy club brackets it was a 1/4 inch away from the door and could have gotten a little more wiggle room if needed.

Example seats that should be ok off the top of my head- All under or at 23 inch shoulder across

Sparco EVO (regular not 2, 3 etc)
Corbeau FX1 Pro or Regular FX1
