Default Sparco Corsa fit?

Anyone ever seen or have any kind of experience with the Sparco Corsa fitting? The shoulder bolsters look like they might be too wide, especially if the seat sits really low. Any ideas? Of course i could just try it, but then i'd have to buy a $100 bracket...

if you go on sparcos site they have all the measuments of the seat. If its bigger than the Sparco Evo, you probably wont be able to fit it in the car.

Great info! I compared it to the Evo and both are 23.62 at their widest (B) measurement on the fitment guide and the Corsa is narrower at the thighs than the Evo at 19.25 versus the evo at 19.69.

Does anyone know how close the Sparco Evo should bolsters get to the door panels? Reason i ask is because the Corsa if overall a taller seat, but from the fitment guide, the shoulde bolsters sit lower than the Evo.

Also, i assume by shaving you mean shaving the actual seat bolster down. how hard was it to take off the seat skin and put it back on?

not that hard... and the area I had to shave wasnt part of the face of the seat, just where the plastic "wrapped" around. If I was home Id take a picture for you

I wont be back home for a week.

ic. that's cool thanks for the gesture. I'm mainly worried about the side bolsters because my seat will sit extra low since i won't be running sliders, my side mounts will attach directly to the seat base....so hopefully it'll fit! i guess i'll just have to be the first one to try it!

I dont really follow you... seat is basically the same width other than the shoulder wings... so it really wont matter how low your seat is. If I bolted mine to the floor I could maybe drop it a half inch, if that. And the seat would still fit.

I see. I wasn't sure if the shoulder wings sat right above the door panels or not, hence if the seat were to be lowered, they wings would hit the door panel. That's how it was when the seat was in my integra. But yeah, if the wings will not contact the door panel at all if the seat is raised or lowered, then i shouldn't have anything to worry about.
