What to handle better - part II - seats

I can tell you guys this - sport racing seats are prob one of the biggest improvements you can make on the evo

You are in a much better position to FEEL what the car is doing

The feedback is 100% times better and the lower position gives you a much better perspective to know what is going on

I have the Evo 3 by Sparco on the driver's side with custom bracket by DeMonte Motorsports (631) 831-9024 - they are master NASCAR race chassis fabricators

On the passenger side I use the EVO 1 and the stock Spacro brackets

Collest thing is I retain the sliders on both sides !

Once your strapped in with the harness you can just drive and the seat and harness holds you - no more bracing your self

Also - I would estimate 40 - 50 lbs weight loss

Mr. D Flash,

glad you posted this.been thinking of better racing seats. now lets say your wife(?)(*) also drove the car, would she find getting in and out of those seats cause for giving you grief?

* don't know if you are married but you get what I mean, some of us are sensitive to caustic comments.

Well - All I can tell you is that NO ONE will ever get to drive my Evo wife included so its irrelevant to me

The comfort level on these SPARCO seats is better than stock IMHO - but the side bolsters make getting in and out a TAD more difficult than stock

However - IMHO the control and feel over the car are so much more improved its worth it

I drove it two hours home in traffic and my *** was loving every minute - very good seats

Thanks to the afore-mentioned NASCAR race shop - they fabrictaed a genious like braket for my seat that bolts in just as the factory one does - a 10 minute job to swap them back and forth !
