Default Sparco seats help

Hello,

Ive decided to change my stock seats with Sparcos.

I am bouncing between Sparco Pro2000 and Sparco Evo;s.

I am worried about the rubbing of the wings and height of the seats.

So can you please tell me what are the limiting numbers for width, height for seats in this car and what are the best base, sliders... I want to sit as low as possible.

I can tell you from personal experience that Sparco Fighters fit.

Hi
I have a Cobra Sebring pro wide edition.
This just fits but takes some work to get it right
The further back you need to go the worse the problem gets as the cabin narrows
I made my own seat bracket. Originally it was fixed but have since reengineer end it with runners
Adding runners is a real problem as it lifts the seat an inch so I had to completely redesign the mounting to make it work
I think Bride make an ultra low runner for the 370 which is similar to what I came up with
Good luck
Keith

In response to your PM:

I have a Sparco Evo2 (Euro, not the US) passenger seat, and a medium Sparco Ergo driver seat. I know a Pro2000 does fit, I don't know about the pro2000 II. I do know that the limiting factor for any seat in the 370 is the outer width of the sides/"wings" at the shoulders. Anything wider than 23" will contact the door.

Your height will be fine, I suggest Wedge brackets just because that's what I have and I know them to be low. I am a similar height, 5'10".

Waist size is less important than the widest point around your hips, butt, or thighs. The best thing you can do is go and actually sit in the seats. Look for track days or car meets and just ask other people with racing seats.

GSM performance offers me Type MO rails for sparco pro2000 seats, drivers and passengers side £489.99.
Is the price okay? It seems expensive to me.
