For those who run Race Seats, please chime in

I'm trying to grasp what seats can and cannot fit into my 128i

I've been thinking Recaro Profi SPG or a Sparco EVO 2...but it appears the Sparco EVO 2 does not fit.

I'm 6'1", 180-185, and 34" waist. Any suggestions are welcomed.

And if people know the exact measurements I should aim for (like max shoulder width or base) that would be helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Well, with talking with Mike and VAC, it appears the Momo Super Cup and Cobra Suzuka Pro-Fit have fit from their testing.

As well, from another forum member the Recaro PP do indeed fit.

So, starting to get somewhere. Still would like to hear from others.

I cant give you exact measurements but Recaro Profi SPG, SPA and pole positions fit.

I have profi SPA's in my car and there is plenty of room. Everfly has Pole positions and they fit fine.

Good to know that the Profi/SPGs do indeed fit....that was the seat I was aiming at because I don't think PPs will fit me.

Do you have any shots of your SPAs installed? Just curious. Everfly was able to send me some shots of the PP already.

There are photos in my build log in my signature. The 1m safety car has them too. So you can google interior shots.

I would get the spg over the pole positions if tracking is your main goal. The spg are deeper and hold better.

I'm surprised the Evo 2 didn't fit. Was it too tight at the hips/legs? Shoulder harness holes too low? Too wide at the shoulders?

Like I said in my PM, I' 5'10" 190-195 and I fit in the Evo 2 fine.

I ran a couple of racetech seats in mine with no issue. 4009W's to be exact. The regular 4009's would fit no issue. Very very comfy seat.

The issue that the shoulders are too wide and won't fit within the car. They fit me fine, it is just they rub on the door cards from researching on the forums

Does that depend on the width of the Evo2? I have 15" and they are quite narrow. I've had then in my Cosworth Vega SCCA race car for awhile and it is way narrower than the 1

I think the shoulder width is too wide and it will hit the door. I don't think the base is the issue.

Again, this is from my research. If someone can prove me wrong I would be more than happy because I really like the Evo 2

[Ski Killset]

Well the shoulder width of the 15" is narrower than the shoulder width of the 19". That's why I was asking.

15" versus 19"? You lost me there.

Are we still talking about the Evo vs Evo 2?

[Ski Killset]

No, the Evo2 can be bought in different widths.

Makes sense.

I'm only seeing the Evo2 versus the Evo2 US.

I don't see a 15" base though.

Note: the roll bars don't show it in the photo, but they now have the appropriate foam padding

Went out to the shop, I have Evos. Sorry, guess I need more "seat time"

When I was shopping around for seats, the shop owner actually let me test fit the Cobra Suzuka and Imola's in my car. I just removed my seats and stuck them in the car. I didn't bolt them in as I didn't have adapters or sliders but with just the side mounts it fit pretty well.
