Just wondering if one of these miracles of aluminum construction will even fit in our cars. Right now the wings on my EVO2 are just barely touching the trim panel on the door.

I don't think it will. I have one of their Deluxe Road race seats in my car:


and I had to put the sholders in a vice and pull them inward in order to get them to fit. I can't imagine one of the full containment style seats would fit.

I needed a bit of bending at the shoulders for my 18" Kirkey, but the 17" just fits on the passenger side, both Deluxe RR seats. Haven't tried a full contaiment.

I have a Butler Built seat in my 930 with the shoulder and head restraints. Fits like a charm.
And it's a 19''....

I have the Recaro Pro Racer XL in my 911, but the stock seat rails were removed to provide more headroom, a lower seating position and room for the wings. Without lowering the seat mounting point the wings would interfere with closing the window...
