Default If I Buy Sparco Seats, What All Is Necessary To Buy Besides The Seats?

I'm trying to figure out what else I need to buy if I buy new seats. If anyone with experience can help me out that would be great. I'm trying to figure out how much I will have to spend. Thanks

it depends on the type of seats you are getting. If you are getting reclinables you uwill need to get a diff mounting bracket. the side mounts are only for buckets (non-reclinable).

Go here http://www.speedwaremotorsports.com/ and ask for Mark. he will hook u up. Tell him Bryan from Murrieta who just bought the recaro stuff for the 350z said hes da man!

Sparco side brackets & sliders with their seats are teh lose in the Z. puts you WAY too high if ur ever gonna use a helmet...

custom is always the best.. trust me. i've been there, done that with the sparco brackets. they suck.

if you are getting a bottom mount seat, the sparco base/slider is a tad higher than stock but not bad

if you are getting sidemount seats, I agree with Cheston - get custom ones made. No it's not cheap, but you'll be rewarded with seats that don't make you feel like you are in an SUV

Be careful who you buy them from. I went with a vendor who said they were Sparco brackets (they do have the correct part number) but the passenger-side bracket does not even come close to fitting my Sparco Torino's.
