Well, at any rate I'm not here to argue, nor boost my count, as it matters not. At least when you find a seat get one with an anti-sub belt slot. I think some people miss that when looking for a seat. Again, good luck.

i have Sparco Fighters . And i have some big friend with 230-240 lbs and over 6 feet. They fit, but i don't like to see them in my seats. /poor seats/
But they fit.
and you can get these seats with sliding brackets from sparco. Althought it is a pain in the neck to install them. Also you can keep the factory seat belts too. Wich are much better for DD> Bealive me you dont want 4-5-6 point belts for DD.
And with the Sparco seats the room inside will be hughe, compere to the factory seats. I have big space between the front and a rear seats + i got a lots of extra room to my feets in the front .I'm 6.2. If i push all the way back the seats i hardly reach for the pedals.

the passenger side is right up against mine and I have thesmallest version of the evo seat, with a wider seat I would imagine it would really dig into that piller.

Also from getting in and out of the sparco seat it may wear a hole in the side wall so I got some "wear Patches" to prevent this from happening.



you can hate on it if you want but at least my seats won't be messed up.

YEah i saw the Sparco Fighters and on the dimensions list it says the are meant for M/L drivers, and which again, i am a weight lifter and i don't know if it will fit right. SWOLN what did you mean by "anti-sub belt" seat belt ?

W evo8 i really do appreciate the pictures but the top one is really hard to see do you have a brighter picture of that one? I also see that is a fixed seat how does that feel? My seat never really changes so i don't know if i would be worried about it but just not having the option kinda makes me nervous. What do you use for a seat belt ? Harness with a harness bar?

the anti sub belt is prevent you going /sliding under the belts/ when you get into an accident.
basicly its the 5th or 5-6 th little belt between your legs. Or you can buy the 4 point anti sub belts . But i dont trust them. Personal opinion only.
i think the best bet is the 5-6 or the factory 3. Since the 3 point will twist your body to prevent the submerge.

Robevo RS, man i love the way your seats look and i see you had to remove the little arm rest console, i guess it was too tight of a fit huh? My biggest issue i s i see that harness bar in the back and i don't know how willing anyone will be to get back there or how comfortable i will feel with my 4 year old sitting behind me if i was to get into an accident....that thing looks like a death trap for the backseater. But then again i see you have your rear seat removed so it doesn't look like you have to worry about that too much.

Big NO for the harness bar if keep the rear seats. It will cause the hughe problem when accidents happens for the back seats ones or just even a hard breaking. You don't need the after market harness with these type of seats. The mid console was too tight , you right about that.

What do you mean you don't need aftermarket harness with these seats ? I couldn't see how the original seat belt would work.....or even work right with these seats.

As far as your armrest goes did you have a cover made for it or does it just sit in the open?

when i'm around in town/goin to car show etc./ i'm using the factory belts . They working perfect with these seats.
The RS don't really have arm rest from the begin with, so i don't miss anything there. And yes its sits open.

Don't the sides rest against the chair and not on you lap? I would love to get these seats but need them to be functional with stock belts. I know it is a wierd request but do you have any pictures of you in the seat with the stock belt hooked up? I would love to see where these lay!!

i personally don't know any bucket seats will give you that . /sitting on your lap/
So i can't help there. On this seat, the lap belt going over the side to side but kind a sits on you lap too. But def. not like on the stock one.
