Default Sparco EVO 2 in C5? Who's got em?

I know they're good seats and I'm guessing they fit but wanted to make sure. How do you like them?

I have them in my c5z with hardbar rails. They are night and day compared to the factory seats. You'll no longer have to fight to stay in the seat when you are in a banked turn at high speed. They're comfortable enough to leave them in for the street too.

Can you still use the factory belts on the street?

I couldn't retain the factory seatbelts with the hardbar rails because the setup is too wide. I had to remove all of the factory stuff including the plastic interior pieces that cover the seatbelt mechanism.

I use them for street with comp belts tucked away.
The seat fit is fussy but very pleased with result. Might as well get some wear pads sewn on outboard horizontal bolster as you will have to do it too soon if you wait.
It is hard not to drag your butt getting in and out.
