Default Sparco Rev seat in the S2000?

not long ago I bought the Sparco Rev seat for my S...
However, after I installed it. Since there is no rail nor mount for S2000 here I could get right away..so, I fixed the rail and mount from a civic to make it fit S2000... which I think it shouldn't be a problem here.. but I could be wrong.. However, I find the seat rubs the inner plastic panel a bit.
I wonder if this happen to all of you Sparco Rev owners?
or is there any secret about it?

Based on the cars I've seen with Sparco rev seats installed, you have two options. 1) The seat rubs against the side of the interior. Or 2) The seats blocks the glove box.

Same thing with the Recaro SPG... small price to pay for having good seats!

Elistan is correct. I have them in my car and they interfere with the glove box, although you can still open and close it with some effort. But who cares - the seats are fabulous.

Mine rubs also my door and the seatbelt a pain to put in. I have to admit though it gives great feedback since you are so snug. But make sure you get a tight seat because it better through the twisties.

My seat rails had holes slightly larger than the bolts used to secure them, so I just loosened the bolts and played around with the seats until I found the ideal position then tightened them back up, kind of like aligning a CF hood.

If your seat rails dont have larger holes maybe have them drilled slightly bigger for better adjustment?!?!

Hope this helps!
