The guys with the Sparco Torinos, I have a question for you. Does the bolsters on your seats hit the door panel at all, and what seat brackets are you using?? Thanks
I just installed Sparco Milanos' which are exact width of Torinos (bolster width) and the bolsters did not hit the doors using Sparcos sliders, brackets, and hardware. Here is the link with pics of my install: https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/289865-my-sparco-prestige-3-milano-tan-leather-install.html
Now the Sparco brackets do raise the seats a little compared to stock seats. I actually love it cause my feet dont hit the bottom of door getting out anymore and I see the road alot better with my seats set far back. But that is a preference thing and Im 5'10". Also I was able to adjust seat on bracket and get almost 1/2" clearance from door when I moved seats all the way inward towards center console. I settled on a 1/4" cause I wanted more room for my seat belt clip from the center console.
At the SparcoUSA webpage there is a size chart that clearly shows both torino and milano have same shoulder width here is link: http://www.sparcousa.com/resourceFiles/26.pdf
Look at dimension for B (both same). Now others who I have talked to on this board (they put in Cobra Misano's and Sparcos) said they had trouble with passenger side seat rubbing door a tad bit but they just put a couple of washers under bracket (not sure what brackets they used) and it fixed it. I did not have that problem.
Hope this answers your questions.
