Default Sparco's are in!!

I lovem but I alrdy knew that when I test fitted them in my 90 im just not sure if ill ever put the stockers back in or not. I had to weld the sliders right to the brackets to get the height I wanted. The height is perfect just a lil lower then stock the stock seats sat to high for me my legs hit the wheel and they didnt go back quite far enough.

Nope it fits pretty well maybe a tad high but not bad at all I might get some seat belt pads anyway tho cause short people it might be a diff story. Goes over my shoulder close to the where a shirt collar would be but not up on the neck or anything.

I drove the car tonight I love these seats makes driving the car so much more enjoyable really I think they were worth every penny. Makes the car easier to drive really cause im positioned perfectly where I need to be. With all the lateral support it feels like I can feel the car better through turns also cause im planted in the seat. This would not probably have been one of my frist mods but I actually had these seats for 3 yrs they were for my 90 camaro.

What did you do with your old stock leather seats? Are you interested in selling them? i'm wanting to get a set of dark gray leather seats from a 97+ Camaro.
