i have it, i have sparco side mount rails and a wedge eng seat mount.
there is one in the forsale forum. also for 360 with side mounts slider and seat mount but its for a EK still worth it to pick it up and get a new seat mount.
first off if you weight over 150lbs this seat isn't for you, also if you don't but you a bigger guy this seat isn't for you. Im 150lbs at 5'7 and have a smaller frame. this seat is FREAKN SMALL. it fits me like a glove, when im on track and i have my harness in its great. i have driven about 5 hours stright with it and every thing was A OK, but if your one of those people who likes to sit all gangsterish this **** anit for you

how straight, or how much of an angle does it sit? i don't have the "gangster lean" or anything, but i also don't like to sit straight up.

well the seat itself i would say has you sit STRIGHT up and down. you can adjust the whole angle of the seat with the side mounts though
i have heard that the acutall frame is the same as the mugen. and the same people make them i have no clue, its all second hand info.
there are some pics of it in my car, that was befor the roll bar and befor the seat back brace.
here are some pics of it more recently
my only complant is that after leaving the car out in the sun for 3 months stright, the upper bolster (on the window side) appears bleached. now this could have been from ALOT of other things besides the sun and since the would seat was exposed im thinking its from something else. but its worth noting
thats another shitty thing is the seat comes with ZERO approvale so i had to install a seat back brace, i think i would have anyways but, ya i got the seat with the side mount and floor braket for 300 shipped so im not complaining

My little brother has these. They're pretty supportive, a little too tight for my taste. But see the shoulder supporting part? Where it sticks out? If you don't garage it, it mad begins to fade. Oh slammed93's saying the same thing.

Re: (egcoupe94)
most companies make a wide version of seats. Corbeau makes very economical wide seats that fit up to a 44" waist for us big guys. Sparco makes the evoII and evoIII..... just look around...most have them.

Thats a nice look'n seat, but it does look rather small, and I'm not the smallest guy around(fat-wise) that is. I like your roll-bar and stuff. How much did they run you?
