Default Sparco Ultra vs Evo vs Rev for autocross/fun car.

I am trying to decide which of these to get.
Looks like the Ultra is the cheapest and lightest.
Cheaper by about $200.00
Lighter than the Evo by 8lbs/ car set
Lighter than the Rev by 12lbs/ car set (weights are from Sparco PDF file)

Any opinions on this debate?
Any pictures of the Ultra in an EF?
Any one like one over another?

Thanks.

I never sat in the ultra or rev before but i have sat in evo and that seat feels good, especially if you are little bigger then the average guy. Doesn't the evo weigh around 16lbs and you said the other seat weighs 8lbs less?

The PDF file I got from the Sparco web site says:
EVO = 18.5lbs the EVO2 = 20lbs (both fiberglass)
Ultra = 15lbs.

The number I gave was per car set.

Why not the Sparco Sprint or Speed? They are cheap and do the job well, I got the sprint and its nice as hell feeling.

I was looking at the speed and sprint.
The only reason I did not list them is because you can not side mount them.
I am the only one driving my car so I plan to mount them to the floor.
Otherwise I would still consider them.

now what about a thin guy?? what seat would be good there...I am 5' 10" and 135lbs...and its really tough for me to find a seat that is comfortable but tight enough to hold me...and also fit in my car.

Actually the seats listed up above would fit you easily.

I got the Sprint and I'm 6'0 and 155lbs and its holds you in nicely. If your are 180lbs ot more you'd have problems with that seat.
