Default Racing seat 2002 C5 Z06

Hi,
I would like to install either Cobra Suzuka or Sparco Evo in my C5 Z06.
Any advice as to where to get mounting brackets for either without adding
any height over stock seats? Additionally where would the sub belt fit to?
I have a BK harness bar for the 6 point harness.
Any advice would be much appreciated !
Thanks !

I used the Hardbar fixed mounts and by your question of where would the sub belt mount to...without looking I think it's bolted in with the rear seat mount bolts. I'm 5' 11'' and have no clearence issues with my helmet. Their mounts are pricey, but I'm confident there wont be a failure there in a worst case scenerio.

I'll second that, I have a hardbar mount and a Cobra Suzuka GT seat. Fits in there like a dream. Very solid. No mods necessary to interior plastic trim pieces.

I had a buddy who had an Evo or Evo II - he had to trim the interior plastic piece on the outboard side by the door....

I also used the Hardbar seat rails on my Z06. Top quality product, light and very strong, very wide range of adjustment available, pricey but worth the money.

Suzuka Pro GT on Hardbar rails here too. I'm short but I still have it mounted lower than the stock seat.

I have a Teamtech Jet Pilot harness so I don't have traditional anti-sub belts.

I didn't want to pay for the Hardbar mounts made my own instead. Big pain in the rear! If I had to do it over again, I would have bought the Hardbar mounts.
