Default sparco evo2 seat owners: xr4racer, aleph, etc

just wondering if you guys have found a suitable method for installing the seats? please post any details on how you bolted, welded, or hammered the chairs into place.
i finally found a dude at an autox with these chairs and they fit my nicely. now i just need to find out if i can use the stock belt with them.

I picked up my Evo (not 2 or 3) last friday on the way back from DC, bought the sparco type R adapter, the sparco rails, and the sparco slider kit...haven't installed yet. I figure for 40 bucks the sliders were worth a try, might be too high with them though, we'll see. i'll post pics and impressions as soon as i have time to get it in, hopefully this week.

from what i hear, the sparco slider/bracket setup will raise the seat, but perhaps it will be insignificant? please do take pictures and height measurements!

I got the Sparco REV seat w/ sliders, bottom mount and side mounts. The bottom mount doesn't fit right. The 2 back bracket holes don't match the stock position.

are these sparco pieces (sliders, bottom/side mount) that don't fit properly?
i have yet to hear of anyone having success easily mounting sparco seats without modification.

Don't they sell ITR specific brackets? With the $1 seat belt bracket you should be okay using the seat belt. I have a picture if you need it

Why not get a MOMO seat? Then, you can use Mugen rail and it's a bolt on. Just a thought.

yes please! i've been wondering if the stock belt can be used with the sparco bucket.

i've sat in many seats and only the evo2 fit me properly; the recaros were way too small.

boostin, do you have pictures of how you bent your seat brackets?

What kind of modifications are you talking about? Examples please, besides bending it.
