Default Sparco EVO II US Install

For those considering installing the Sparco EVO II US, there is a thread in the Autocross section that utilized one of our bracket systems. It was in a C5, and the C6 would have even more room and be easier.

Thanks for the link. Great write up and looks really straight forward. What size waist will those seats accommodate? I currently wear a 40" pants and need to either replace the factory seats covers and foam or just replace the whole seat. Looking for something comfortable enough to semi daily drive as well as to increase the lateral hold for the occasional twisty back road and possible autocross. Any insight is much appreciated.

You should ask that question in the original thread so the owner can reply and give any insights. Others who have the same seat or have sat in it can chime in as well.

I have the seat and currently wear a 40 inch pant. More like a big 38, small 39 but I just use a belt. I fit just fine in the seat. I ended up going to an OMP WRC seat instead because the shoulder wings were more comfortable. Everyone is different though. My sparco is for sale if your interested.

I made a video on my phone to show the adjustability of the brackets that were used.

The picture below shows a bracket without the seat. You can see the slots in the side mounts. After you position your seat in the car, pull the seat, remove it from the brackets and add some holes for grade 8 bolts at the end of the slots. Two holes at the front end of slots and two holes at the rear end of slots is good if possible.
