Default Sparco Chrono Road- thoughts on fit?

Hi all, I'm thinking of installing a Sparco Chrono Road seat in my 86 951, and was looking for feedback from anyone who had used one?
- Will it fit and mount to the stock rails on the floor?
- How did it fit you ? I'm 5'9", slim build so don't want an overly large seat.

Thanks for you time and thought !

I haven't used one....but I plan on installing the Road Chrono seats in my car.

There are a couple threads specifically on these seats, even with custom made mount diagrams (They aren't "bolt in").

And, they are made for "larger" people. If you're average size, I would think a smaller seat would be better. For spirited driving, you want a seat to fit snug. If you want a large seat for comfort reasons, then these would probably work (but I highly doubt they would be more comfortable than the stock seats).

Good point, I checked the Dimensions sheet and the R505 looks like a better fit for me.

Now just need to figure how to mount.

I'm also looking to replace my seats and the only one I like so far is the RECARO Sportster CS.

Anyone care to comment on them, I'd be interested.

FYI Chronos

They are a bit large, but fit well and are comfortable.
