Sparco seats, anybody using them, will they fit Options

[mike_the_man]

Hi all,

A friend of mine has a couple of Sparco seats for sale. They're the Speed models, I believe. Sparco Speeds

Does anybody have these seats? Will they fit in a teener? I'm assuming that I'd have to loose the back pad, which is ok.

So, would I need to get a custom bracket, or is there an adaptor that I can get. How can I get these seats in my car?

I had one in my car for a while. I liked it but longer drives were a little tough. As far as fit, I'm 5'-6" so i didn't remove the back pad. the seat interfers with the hand brake. As far as mounting it someone gave me a sparco slider from a honda that I bolted to a steel frame (roughly 2" X 3/8" from home depot). It worked pretty good and didn't move at all. With the sparcos they have to be mounted as low as possible otherwise you lose clearance between bolster and steering wheel. when i mounted it i used the steel plates bolted directly to the stock hinges in the back. upfront i ran a steel L angle across and modified to bolt into the factory height/tilt adjustment. I bought a pair of the pepboy specials when i saw that thread come out before x-mas. I modified a factory track but the seat is way too high and difficult to get in and out of. I still have to work on mount but if i take the roof off getting in and out is easier. I took out the sparco and used my fabricated steel to make the new mounts for the other seats. I like the fit of the sparco better. the shoulder bolsters are slightly wider and more comfortable. I think if you put two seats in access to to the center cushion box might be restricted.
