Default Mounting a Sparco Pro2000 in my C5Z

I just bought a Sparco Pro2000 seat with bottom and side mounting holes. I had an older sparco seat that was bottom mounted onto a slider and C5 bracket fastened to my stock seat floor studs. However, the older sparco seat was too wide for me and had no slot for a sub-harness belt. I tried mounting the new pro2000 seat on the same slider and bracket, but I'm sitting too high in the car with my head in the halo bar area. Where can I get mounting brackets for this seat that would attach to the stock seat studs in the floor? I don't need the slider any more. Thanks.

I have a sparco pro2000 in my z06. It's mounted via side mounts (sparco), and adjustment holes have been added so the seat could drop down a bit more. A custom base mount was built w/sparco sliders.

You may find you need to recline the seat a bit (more than the hardbar mount allows) to keep your head a safe distance from the roof/pillar area just in back of the sun visor.

Go with the Hardbar rails.

I used to brush the headliner with the top of my helmet. Now I am so low I have to lower the steering wheel to see out of the car!
