For anyone planning aftermarket seats (Sparco, Recaro etc)..LA Peeps Please read..>
 
Right now there are no seat bases available for the 370. They do exist for the 350 but there are some differences in the mount points that would cause some issues. Basic fore/aft and side to side measurements are the same but the leg heights on the inner mounts are different. I have a set of Sparco's I'm itching to mount. Talked to Wendel at Wedge Engineering in Long Beach Friday who specializes in seat bases. He said "What's a 370?" but also suggested if I knew anyone in the LA/Long Beach area he would like to get a car in his hands so he could measure the bases...This might be an opportunity for someone.. Let me know if there's any interest as I'll be calling him this week.....

These seats need a new home!

For now, I think the stock seats look sick, I dont see a reason for an upgrade unless you're going all out on the car with a track/show setup and you're trying to save weight.

.....for me It's not about looks.... Since you don't even own a car, I'm guessing you've never sat in one of these, nor done an 800 mile day in one.....:tup:

This might also be a means of addressing those with interior height issues due to their own physical height.

Good find = rep point!

This is something I would love to see progressed, as I have talked about lower my stock seats some how. If these are lower & better (overall) than stock seats I would be interested, but I cannot help as I am not in LA.

I dont live in LA/LB area, but I do live in SD, and id be willing to come up for a day for him to get his measurements. I wont be back from business until next week, but let me know what you guys need and for how long.

I live roughly 15-20 minutes away from Long Beach, CA. I'm willing to make the oh so long drive up there and let them test out and do some measurements on the Z. If you guys are interested, tell me how I can get in touch with them and I can stop by either Wednesday (13th) or Friday (15th) of this week.

Thanks Guys...I talked to Wendel today and unfortunately he would need a car for 2 days to do the layout and fitting. If anyone is still interested I'm sure he would be as well...His phone is: (562) 633-1663

In the interim, I've ordered a 350 bracket to modify. It may or may not be doable easily, but worth a shot anyway...We'll see in a few weeks..
