Default Does any one have sparco evos?

How do you like them? Any picks? Any problems installing them in the car?

Have them. Like them. I am 6'1" with a 34" waist and they are nice and snig.

Try Google.com for pictures.

You can buy appropriate rails from Sparco to fit them. $50 per side (not including sliders), or $100 if you want seat belt mounts.

I hope Aleph doesn't mind me plugging his site...but check out http://www.sandmracing.com (under the mods section, interior)

I know he loves his EVO, and if I ever get a seat, I can almost guarantee that's the one I'm getting. I drove it at an autocross once, and it was SO awesome. Big from me. Of course, he has a roll bar and 5-pt harness to, so that was part of it.

I love my Evo -- however I purchased the Sparco Evo sliders and mount kit and IMHO it sucks. So buy the seat, but get a custom mount fab'ed.

In my Teg with the Sparco mount and sliders I was barley able to sit in my car -- head bent, nevermind with a helmet on. So I removed the sliders , and had to bend/weld, and generally screw up the Sparco mount kit to get the seat in. Now it's in my Civic with a custom seat mount attached to my cage. I couldn't be happier with the seat.

Wanta buy some Sparco sliders? How about a screwed up seat mount for a Teg?

excellent seat, especially for the price, actually very comfortable to drive around, longest you don't get in and out....works best with 140-180lbs indiviuals and 5.7-6.2', from testing on the friends....

as far as mounting....use stock sliders, make them flat (remove all the studs and side mounts which are stamped onto the rails....then drill holes, get some L shaped brakets and mount it....
sparco rails suck, those make you seat really high....

for use of stock seatbelt get a 88-9 crx or civic or 90-3 integra floor mounted one

Yeah, I'm 5'11 ~185 lb and the seat is pretty snug, but still comfortable. If you're any bigger than that, look at the Evo 2.
