Sparco EVO seat users
I am getting ready to order seats, and have a few questions. I like the EVO's and the Roadsters from Sparco, both seats measure over 19" wide, but when I measure from the trans tunnel to where the seat belts mount on the floor, there is only 18". There is 20" up front, but where the seat belt sticks out could be a problem. I have read where guys have EVO's in C5's, anyone got any pics of them mounted in a C5? I would to see pics of the mounts also, it doesnt have to be just the EVO's, any aftermarket seat pics would be appreciated. :)

Re: Sparco EVO seat users (kwik8racr)
I am picking up a set of Evo 2's this week and using Hardbar's C5 custom mounting hardware (when it gets here :sleep: ?) I'll post pics after the install, but it might be a few more weeks. Try posting in the Autocross/roadrace section, I'm sure that you will get someone over there with pics of Evo's installed.

Re: Sparco EVO seat users (kwik8racr)
I bought a set of Sparcos last week. I will be installing them in my car friday. I will be taking pictures this weekend. I did not go with the Evo's. I went with the Pro 2000 do to the better side support. I talked to Gary at hardbar and he said that those would fit in my car. Dennis and Gary are both great to deal with at hardbar. They have great products. I will be getting my seatrails this thursday or Friday.

XCELR8, do you have any "hookups" for seats? I have been watching e-Bay, and there are some good deals on there.
Thanks guys!! :cheers:

Re: Sparco EVO seat users (kwik8racr)
I am using the EVO2 with the Hardbar mount.
The seat JUST fits but I had to leave the factory belt out.
Not a big deal since I have a 6pt belt installed.
The seat is great. I have spent 2 hours at a time driving in it with no complaints. On the street or on the track it has been comfortable and supportive.
Just remember that getting in and out will not be as easy as the factory seats.

I used a sparco evo2 plus seat all the time on my c6 and surprisingly it was a very comfortable seat. Plus it held me in incredibly well.
I will be installing the seats into my c5 and will also do a quick release steering wheel as the stock wheel makes it even more difficult to get in and out of the car.
