Default Sparco Evo II

No longer for sale, sorry.


I'm selling a Sparco Evo II seat. It's in like new condition with less than 10 hours of total time being used in my C5 FRC. I love this seat so much, but it doesn't fit my shoulders comfortably. The Evo II has the bottom hole for 5pt/6pt harnesses. It also has a removable bottom cushion. These seats are on the narrow side, so they can be a tight fit depending on your size.

In order to fit the C5, owners tend to shave down the front right corner of these seats. This has been done, so you can drop it right in.

This sale does not include any mounting hardware, seat frames, etc. Just the seat.






In this pic, you can see how the seat looked fully installed in my C5 with the lower cushion removed. The car, belts, etc. are not included in this sale.

What did you use for the seat mounting bracket? Would you sell it also?

These have mounting holes on the side, so I bought some OMP mounting brackets. Then I bolted those to a Corbeau seat base. It worked fine for me but was not adjustable, meaning I drilled holes directly into the Corbeau base and then the seat was not able to move forward/back.

I don't have the Corbeau base anymore, so you'd have to buy one. They're maybe $100-ish from a forum vendor. This approach should work just as well with other mounts e.g. Sparco. I could sell the OMP brackets too if you wanted to try this approach.

But honestly, I'd suggest checking out what other owners have done to mount the Evo II into a C5, since I cobbled my solution together using what I had at the time and there might be a more straightforward way to do it.

It all depends on your hips honestly. If you don't have wide hips, I think you'll be fine. I love how snug it fits me. I don't have wide hips and I'm 5-11, 185.

What would shipping be to 28314? A brand new seat is $900 shipped, so just checking.

Thanks

Looks like shipping would be $250. Or we could meet halfway, maybe Spartanburg? (I'm coming from Atlanta.) Then there would be no shipping cost.

Sorry, I actually gave up trying to sell it and put it back in the car. It's no longer for sale.
