Default Seat Questions

I am looking for a replacement seat for my C5. I autocross my daily driver often and HPDE when $$ are available (2-3 times a year). I am 6'5" and 275 lbs. and am seriously considering replacing my stock non-sport power seats with something that gives me more leg room, better overall fit and more side-to-side control. I have 6 point harnesses today, but could switch if I must. I use hardbar mount on the bottom and hardbar across the pillar.

Due to my size (42" waist) I have seen several seats, including Sparco EVO 3, Recaro Pole Position and Corbeau Forza II or LG1. Leaning towards LG1 so that stock belts may be used for DOT approval.

Looking for suggestions, fitment issues, recommendations. And for those that have a minimum of a single, one (drivers side in black) for sale, I have cash for the right seller. Brackets/sliders a plus.

Thanks. Cliff

Our seat rails can accommodate a Sparco EVO3 with an additional $20 kit that uses a spacer block and some longer M10's. It will sit a little higher but I do believe we are the only vendor's seat rails that can use a EVO3 without any mods to your car.
