hhok, so sparco decided to have a garage sale today at there HQ in irvine, basically turning out all of their overstock/scratch and dent for up to 70% off. it was like the nordstrom's half yearly sale for guys. ended up picking up a clean evo, also between friends got a corsa and sprint, all fia cert, and some harness pads for $750. i want to mount the evo in my e30, and after researching for a few hours, i found a couple of people, one over on s14.net, that just bolted the sparco steel side mounts (45 bucks from bimmerworld) to the stock e30 seat rails, and voila, sliding seats again.
but after some more reading, it seems that this combo might be a bit high, i.e. they might present some roof/helmet clearance issues. i came across some other e30 m3 guys that utilized side mount brackets from speedware motorsports (100 bucks)
i dont mind spending the extra 40 bucks, after all if im not comfortable then it's all gone to hell. im just wondering if anyone has any firsthand experience with sidemounted seats in an e30, or these sparco brackets. i did a search, but i couldn't really find anything specific. thanks in advance.
