Default Anyone using Sparco Ergo Seats in a 997?

I am 6'2 195 and wondering how this seat fits me in a Medium or Large. Also, what the installation was like. I will not be self installing. I am wondering if those GMG Aftermarket seat mounts are the way to go or is an another alternative better? I am going down the path of roll bar, hans, and want a Halo that I can remove to drive to and from the track. Thx-

See this thread:

Ergo L may be too wide to fit without stripping the interior, and too tall if installed on sliders. And, with the halos installed, you'll probably need sliders for ingress/egress (or a removable steering wheel).

Here's another thread discussing Ergo sizing:

When I went through all this, I concluded the Ergo wouldn't work, and ended up with XL Evo IIs in order to have a seat with shoulder belt openings that are sufficiently high. Sit before you buy!

Hope this helps.

I drive a 996gt3 with ergo M size seat. Brey Krause sliders. I'm also 6"2 and it's a tight fit with helmet on.

Thanks for taking the time to post. I was told by someone "Unfortunately the Ergo is a bit too tall for these cars. The removable halo piece actually will hit the window seal. For your size, I would recommend going with the Pro-Adv with the Halos or the Evo II US"

Still doing some research.....

Thanks for taking the time to post. As I stated above - someone told me it would not fit into a 997. Is the 996gt3 that different inside?
