Default Sparco Evo Adjustable Seat Rails

I picked up a Sparco Evo seat that looks like it will fit in the FRC - I need an adjustable seat rail base for it - any tips, leads, or websites appreciated...

thanks

Apparently Corbeau.com offers seat rails with sliders for Vettes. Not sure if they would fit the Sparco seat you have, though.

Their rails are very inexpensive compared to pfadt's w/sliders, so they may not be up to the task on-track, but it might be worth a look.

Anybody have comments on the Corbeau seats or rails?

I had A4s with the rails, I thought the rails were very heavy and clunky but they worked fine.

Jeff, can you not use the electrically adjustable Z06 frame and simply mount the track seat to it? I have thought about doing this myself but have not delved too deeply into it.

Uh, I dunno - maybe...I think it is part of the stock seat...

You can purchase either the electic or manual GM seat adjuster separate from the seat. That is what I did and mounted a kirkey to it. Posted some images of it today in a different thread.

The Evo is basically our 'seat of choice'. It works great with our base and side mounts. We offset everything from the stock studs to keep the seat where it needs to be. Our kit includes all the mounts to attach your harnesses right to the seat base. Our kit works with our sliders or any Sabelt/Sparco/Recaro sliders.

Call if you have any questions.

thanks,
Aaron
