Looking at doing the evo 2 US in my c6z with the marred aluminum brackets. I'm 6'2" 240lbs with ~38" waist. Is the evo 2 us going to be wide enough for me?

Yes, the seat is wide enough for you. I have one for sale if your interested. I had it in my c5z for maybe a month. Pm me if your interested.
Anyone have comments on using the Sparco Evo in a mostly street car that goes to the track a few times a year? Wondering how you like the fixed back while driving on the street?
I am considering some in my C6Z that I don't daily drive. I mostly use it as a weekend car for spirited mountain road drives.

I had Sparco Evos in a 2002 C5Z that saw equal use on track and street that I never gave a second thought to while on street or driving 172 miles to an event. The car had coilovers, stiff sway bars, poly bushings and brakes....the seat made all the car feel complete. If it handles like a "go-cart" you need a seat that holds you in place and you'll likely be so enamored with the handling that any sacrifice in comfort will be overlooked.

Same for me. I added a small cushion for my butt for road trips since it would start to go numb after 2 hours in the Evo, but with the cushion I drove it 18 hours to Nebraska last year and back- no problems.
The picture below shows a bracket without the seat. You can see the slots in the side mounts. After you position your seat in the car, pull the seat, remove it from the brackets and add some holes for grade 8 bolts at the end of the slots. Two holes at the front end of slots and two holes at the rear end of slots is good if possible.
This bracket is no longer available. It was replaced by the untra low bracket with sliders, which is our best option for an adjustable seat. We also have a bracket that combines the ultra low seat mount and rear harness mount in one unit for the C5 (due to the shorter floor studs, stacking the 2 separate parts will not work). The aluminum rails are best for a fixed mounting position.
