Anyone have experience with the Sparco GT seat

Needing to replace the tired seats in my 79' SC and the Sparco GT has the classic sport seat look and the price is oh so right! I've done some looking on the webs but can't really find any driver input so I'm reaching out here. Anyone own or have experience with the GT seat?

Bumping this thread to the top to see if anyone's running these Sparco GT seats in a 911. Thanks!

That is attractive. For the price, it's hard to go wrong.

Exactly. So, anyone out there tried them??

Going off of Sparco's measurements, seats are 1 3/4 inches wider than stock, so not a lot of room in the middle of car.

Bumping this to the top to see if anyone's tried these in their 911 before I make the jump. Thanks.

I have one of these in another vehicle, they're a little firm out of the box but do an excellent job keeping me in place. I have Recaro LX seats in the 911 and I've thought about throwing the Sparco in the 911 just to check it and see which I prefer, I doubt there would be much difference in fit, the dimensions are really similar.

I'll weigh mine once I pull it out, might be a week or two tho, so probably quicker to contact Sparco directly if you need a quicker answer.

I am looking at them too with the hounds tooth material.

Do they need custom mountain brackets?

I just installed mine. The seat cushion is too thick that I sit really tall. Cannot fit helmet. Trying to find a solution and found this thread.

any suggestions to reduce the overall height?

thinking to remove some of the foam. about 2" thinner.

I have a Sparco Evo II US and was able to find a much thinner seat pad. Not sure if the dimensions are similar to your seat.

Turbo Den, you could lower the seats a bunch by lowering welding the mounts lower. Can you post pictures of how the seats look installed?

I spotted someone's Targa with these seats, they look really nice and seemed comfortable when I sat in them.
