"Same as the Evo but this seat is 2”1/2 wider. It is an 1"1/4 wider than the Evo 2. The Evo 3 is designed for larger drivers (over 240lbs). It will accomidate a 38-42 inch waist."

Sparco Evo 3

all said - I bought the Bride Gias low max first but those were far too small for me - the EVO3 is even more comfortable than the stock seats where I always felt some pain after 2-3 hours driving because of the switches for the electric seat rail at my leg.

the shoulder level interfers with the door slightly so you need to push the door a little to close, but its not that bad. I guess the EVO or EVO2 would be a better choice for those who will not need the extra width.

please be aware that you will NOT gain any more head space with this kind of seat (no matter which model from EVO or equal you install) - I have to use the lowest hole in the brackets to have at least the same space as with the stock seats. So this mod is not for tall people trying to get more free space for their head. If that is your intention you need to go with seats that have bottom mounts directly to the seat rail like the BRIDE low max.

Very Nice! How long did it take for the entire procedure from taking out the seat to installing in the Recaros?

if you have pre-assembled the seat with the rail then its an easy job - taking out the factory seat is just 4 bolts, disconnecting the 3 harness plugs can be a bit tricky but no issue at all.

I would say out and in is around 30-45min if you take it easy.

looks great. i think i would def have to go with the lo max though.... can you get a pic on how close it is to the closed door?

Loving the seats! My next mod, maybe!

I have currently removed the seats as they are way too close to the door. You CAN close it but then you will have a dent in your door panel. And the lower end is also a little too wide so you cannot slide the seat.

The EVO3 is an awesome seat and I love it but for the 370Z its just too large. I will try out a few other sparco models and measure again but in general the install is easy when you have done it once.

Will let you know with which seat I end up finally.

just out of curiosity, when you find a seat that works where are you going to get a harness bar that is safe/functional? I was told options for a harness bar are extremely limited for our cars right now.

are there any updates on this? My fat *** needs a seat for the track............
