Sparco Seats
Hey guys,
Giving serious consideration to putting a Sparco Milano or Tourino adjustable sport seat in my C5. Anyone done this or anything similar? I'm kinda hoping to lower the seat height a bit over the stock seats (I'm tall and tired of hitting my head on the roof).
Thoughts?

Re: Sparco Seats (dcronkhite)
I would think these would be a nice addition - especially to the Z06. I don't like the non-sport seats. Price is not really much more than we spend on a lot of other mods.
Does anyone know how these mount? Can they mount to a frame that keeps the power seat adjustments?

Re: Sparco Seats (rschiltz)
Good post! I've heard many times that only Sparco EVO, EVO2, and Pro 2000 seat will fit the C5... BUT if you look at the size chart http://www.sparcousa.com/sizechart_seat.htm ... the TORINO, MILANO, and ROADSTER are all Narrower than the EVO2. The ROADSTER is smaller in every dimension?!
Here is an EVO install: http://www.2phast.com/Corvette/sparco.htm
Someone should follow up with Hardbar about mounting hardware.

If we all could find a great seat w/ at least power bolsters and height, mechanical forward and back would be great IMO.... if we find a good one...Lets get a G.P. going....Let's keep in touch...Tom

Is this one way your thinking of putting your C5 on a diet.
That is a total of 40lbs total. :eek: :eek: :eek:
