    Sparco Evo / Evo 2 -- Anybody Running these ?

    Does any body in the area have EVO's or EVO 2's that i can come sit in for a few minutes.

    I'm thinking of buying aftermarket seats.

    Problem is i'm 6'5 190lbs & i don't know if i'll fit in the EVO's

    I don't want to spend $1k just to find out i don't fit int he seats.

    Thanks,

    Jake

    Take a ride up to HMS Motorsport and sit in all their seats. I found that most Sparcos/Recaros shoulder holes are wayyyyyyy to low for me. I ended up with Cobras for my track car...

    Whoa. 6'5" eh? It's going to be a little tough for you to find something that fits your frame - although it's definitely a plus that for your height you only weigh 190lbs since most racing buckets run pretty narrow. I suggest taking Marc's advice and trying out a bunch at HMS. The guys over there are great and will do their best to get you into something that fits you - and your wallet - comfortably.

    You'll probably fit into RaceTechs and Cobras, which are both awesome.

    Thanks Guys.

    I guess i'm headed to Danvers.

    Going to leave my wallet at home though, that place looks like it could put me into some quick debt.

    I used to run Corbeau's FX1 Pro's in my 944, but i got what i paid for & the black fabric on the shoulders faded to purple in 2 years.

    Similar to my build, good to know what seats didnt work for you.
