Sparco Evo Seat

I am not sure which area to post this thread in so I will just post it in the General section. If I want to install a Sparco Evo seat in my 99 Impreza RS, do I just need the Sparco rails too?

Does anyone know of cheap Sparco rails I can get my hands on?

From Sparco, the Seat mount is $135 the Track Set is $70 and the Hardware Set is $7 which is total $212 without shipping for the Driver side, then another $212 for the Passenger side.

Anyone know where I can get this set up somewhere cheaper? Or is $212 without shipping pretty standard for something like this?

Hit up Josh at Import image, and if you want some custom brackets you can hit up wedge. What car would they be going into? Your gm?

Wedge makes really low profile brackets like the bride low max. IIRC you're around the same height as me, and in my corbeau forza i used to have I felt like I was sitting nearly on the floor. The Yonaka Ronin seats I had in my wrx w/ the wedge brackets, I had a great feel in that. Nice and low in the seat, really planted in the bolster and lower center of gravity.

You do have to wait however, but for the most part they are pretty good on their shipping times and prices. Plus they're all made in house near LA. I'd give Josh a call and give wedge a call. They are both very knowledgeable on anything you need. You can also shoot josh a aim.

how much $$ are those brackets? i think Sparcos are around $70 or so.

oh yeah, and since the Evo seat is a competition seat, it needs the side mount brackets too which is like another $60-70

I think they can make side I'm not exactly sure. You'll have to call wedge for that. They had a whole bunch of different types. You're going to need to have a tape measurer on hand btw.
