Sparco Evo 1 Alternative?

Anyone know of an affordable alternative to the Sparco Evo I.
I don't want to pay $800 per seat. So weird that an Evo II is $400 a pair
and the EVO I is $1600 a pair. The only difference I know of is the size.
I'm 150 lb and want the smaller seat.

I'm to skinny for the EVO II it wont do me any good.

I'm looking for a real alternative that will hold me in while racing.

Thanks...

Where are you finding Evo II for $400?

I just bought my Evo for $650 shipped, new open box item with 1 little tear, found it from a shop on ebay. I'm 140 lbs and the Evo is awesome.

The main cheaper option is Corbeau FX1 Pro or possibly Sparco R100, but I don't think that either will offer the support of the Evo for small people like us.

I sat in an Evo I and a Corbo something this last weekend. Night and day difference. That Evo was the nicest seat I have ever sat in.
The corbo was way to wide for me. I do not know the model of it.

I wish you were close I would come test one.
I am close to Denver.

That would explain the price. I did not not look very close
they are evo II's so I had no interest in them.

It seems the Corbeau FX1 Pro is about the same width as the Evo 1.

Has anyone sat in both? I wish there was a place around here to try these out.

These look promising. Great Price.
