Default Sparco R100's in a S2000 possible?



1) Its fairly good looking (atleast IMHO)
2) Relatively cheap at $289 each- http://www.racing-seats-usa.com/961.html The price is about the same as corbeau A4's
3)Initial mesasurments on sparco lead me to believe they may fit the S2000's cramped interior.

I am concerned about the slider and brackets - Sparco is quite a bit more than corbeaus for both sides.

Will F1 Spec rails and sliders work on these seats?

Has anyone tried this setup and can have any comments? Thanks!

Can anyone confirm that this seat fits?

kchandra - let me know if you get an answer I'm also looking at picking one of these up.

Thanks!

step 1: Find seat thread that has seats that are known to fit or rub slightly

step 2: Measure seat in question

step 3: Measure a seat known to fit

step 4: compare measurements

step 5: come to conclusions

I have sparco evos I had to shave the outside shoulder bolster just a bit.

Thanks Sparrow.

I was just looking for someone that had attempted to install this seat.

I guess i'm just being lazy.

looks like those will sit higher than stock or same level, and the steel frame will not be as light as frp/cf one.
