havent got any up to date pics of mine, but i run sparco evo 2's (think they called evo L now)

they can be a bit tight to the doorcards, and depending if u bolt direct to the floor or modify the standard subframe, the shoulder bolster pieces can get a bit close to the b-pillar and the rollcage main hoop. but you dont really fit buckets for practicality lets face it

I run 2 cobra suzukas on modified runners, as said it's all a bit tight but they were hardly designed to go in there lol

What car? My sparcos are borderline too big for a sierra. I have short legs and the seat can only go so far forward.

@ pacwest,as its the "RS Turbo" section of Passionford,I'll take a mad guess and say the origional poster (jaiscossie) is talking about a RST.If not,then he's posting in the wrong section,will get wrong advice,and should be more carefull in future!!! Regards,Micky

I am being careful. I'm just throwing it out here that reading the specs on a seat and plonking it into any car won't work per se. Sure he's in the RS turbo section but it's my experience with the internet it's wise to ask the direct question rather than assume. I am no expert on the RST but I was essentially asking if it was an S1 or an S2 - if there is any slight difference in the seat rails, tunnel etc it will have an effect.

This has been an expensive lesson for me since I bought seats for my Merkur that were maybe an inch too wide. The 1985 Merkur tunnel is a bit different than most Sierra tunnels. I bought a seat for my cyclist legs but it was no match for my car. I should have bought a little bit tighter seat.

Find the happy medium between car fitment and ass/shoulder fitment. Just trying to help.

Got a retrimmed corbeau revolution in the turbo

And in the track car

Got hold of a second hand seat for the drivers side

And for the other side was thinking of this from rally design in black
