Sparco Seats

I'm wondering, do the Sparco seat brackets sit high? I have a Sparco seat in my Mirage I'd like to switch it over to my Evo. All I'd need to do is buy the bracket from Sparco to fit it correctly in my Evo, but I'm afriad the seat will sit high, like it does in my Mirage.

Any problems with seat height in Evo's with Sparcos?

Anyone else? I'm still thinking of putting the Sparco from the Mirage into the Evo, but like the original post says, I'm afriad of it sitting too high. I'd hate to sit any higher then I already do.

I have the height adjustable bracket in my Mirage. I have it on the lowest setting and I still sit about 2-3 inches higher then stock. Again, just wondering if this is a problem in the Evo Sparco brackets as well.

Since you'd be mounting the Sparco hardware to some of the existing Evo base, it will sit higher. You can fab up a lower base so you don't have this problem.

Yes they do sit higher but out of the 10 people that have sat in my seats have liked it. I have Sparco Torino's and they are more comfortable than the stock ones. Thats' another comment I hear alot.

If you don't buy the seat base and brackets then I guess you could fab something up to work. The seat bases bolt right into the stock ones.

Get Buddy Club Brackets, they work great! It is what I have on my Sparco and it is much lower than stock.

The ones by Binary are made to lower the stock seats, not Sparco.

That's a question I had as well. I'm in the process of swapping out my seats.
