Default SPARCO EVO Seat Fitment Question?

To gain a better seating position, particularly headroom, I have decided to install the EVO 3 seat. The 996 forum reports that the shoulder area is too wide on this 'Large Man's Seat'.

Would you EVO owners tell me if this newly developed SPARCO seat will fit in the GT3?

Thanks, John

Hey John,

I was talking to a C4S driver I met on the track the last time and he said that he actually had to chop off one side of the seat to get it to fit on his C4S. So I think the seats might be a little too wide for the car... I hope I am wrong though... those seats sure look neat!

I doubt it would work. In my car the EVO2 is an exact fit and the EV0 3 would be 2" wider. You might consider EVO 2. For me at 190lbs, 6'2" is almost a loose fit.

Michael, exactly how much room do you have to spare with the EVO 2s? If I read the chart correctly they are 23.66" across the shoulder at their widest.

My seat measures about 24.5" across with 0.5" to spare relative to the door panel. The seats bottoms are flush with the center tunnel. Keep in mind the carbon seats with custom mounts can weight under 15 lbs ... less than 1/3 the sport seats.
