Sparco seat install
I've bought 2 Sparco Rev seats a while ago and last week I finally decided to put one into my car. A friend gave me OMP seat rails but I had to make some modifications to make them fit.
This rails are only temporary because I plan to fab aluminum rails for both seats.
Here are some pics.
I took out stock seat and rail with motors, so some cleaning was in order.
Seat on new rails, ready for mounting:
And finished product:
I really didn't know how poor are stock seats (for holding body in corners) until I tried this.

I didn't try Corbeau, I don't even think they are available on Croatian market, but Sparco is one of the best racing seats available and a lot of pro racing teams use it.
I kept the e-brake.
I didn't have any seat rails so at first I tried to install seat on stock seat rail, but it ended up too high. So aftermarket rail is necessary.
Here is link to Sparco seats dimensions. Hope this helps.

I did a little mistake when I was calculating rear mount, so I had to
drill holes a little bit lower.
And one pic of new steering wheel:
Total weight saving compared to stock seats is 18kg (~40lbs).
Not very much, but little by little........
