I finally installed my custom Sparco seats today. Pics below:

I had to modify the stock brackets, which took some time, but I got to keep them fully electric. A few more pics up HERE

they look nice man, glad to see the racing seats. good pick..
 






Looks good. My seats are scheduled to arrive on Monday.

What type of modification did you make to the seat brackets? Judging by the dimensions I found for the seat mounting, the bolt pattern will be wider than the stock ones. I was thinking I'd weld tabs or something to the stock brackets to make it fit.

I was just wondering what to look forward to. I got generic APC seats, but anything will be better than this busted POS I'm sitting on now!
 






How much lower do you seat on these compared to stock?
 






bout time. so when's the cage and harnesses go in? :)
 












I got my seats, but don't have time to mess with them till tomorrow maybe. I was just wondering what you did to mount them.

It sounds like you are using the stock rails on the new seat if you kept your electrics. A quick measurement shows that the new seat holes are at a wider spot than the stock ones. Did you make a bracket to widen those mount holes? Any info to help save time would be great.
 






They look real nice but they don't seem to have too much padding. Good Luck with them!
