Sabelt Challenge. Fits a small male/small-skinny med woman very well, up to about 28" waist max. I really like the seat although the wing does make contact with the door.

Unfortunately the clown show at Wine Country Motor Sports and Sabelt-Brembo USA turned the install into a nightmare. They absolutely refused to warranty the captive nuts in the seat chassis or confirm that repairing them kept it FIA. I called literally 3 dozen times at my expense and never got any help from Jim Kontje, who seems like an otherwise good guy at Brembo, his tardsickle Derek Woolfe, or ANY staff at Wine Country at the track in Napa.

Richard, I know you just got your S recently (from other posts). Have you already put the seat in the car and it fits no problem? That's the seat I'm eying for the future, I wasn't sure it would fit. thanks.

Yes, it was intalled a couple of days ago, and I ran at WSIR big track yesterday. First we tried bolting it to the floor, but due to that section of the floor that juts up (I don't know what to call it), the seat either had to be too close to the steering wheel and pedals, or too far away, for me. So we intsalled seat rails, which works much better, and I can find a comfortable seating position. However, you sit a little higher on the rails than bolted to the floor, and I'd prefer to be lower. I am low enough on the rails to pass the broomstick test with my custom rollbar, so I guess the installation meets my needs.

The Cobra Evo is a very nice seat with head side bolsters, which I took out of my Miata race car to install in the S2K. It is a very tight fit, but it does fit in, and the door closes. Barely, but that's all you need.

It is difficult to get in and out of the car with the top up, because of the side bolsters/wings on the lower part of the seat, as well as the head bolsters. I'm sore today from all the contorsions to get in and out of the car numerous times at the track yesterday.
