From looking at Sparco's spec sheet, one of these is wrong. The shoulder bolster dimensions are listed as;

Roadster 57 cm
Rev Fiberglass 56 cm
Rec Carbon 57 cm

How can the Roadster not have bolster issues considering it is the same size or larger?

The roadster may have shoulder bolster issues, but I didn't know that when I posted. If anyone can confirm one or the other, I'll change them both to make it correct.

 

Anyone know if the Corbeau Forza fits?

 

I found the following in another thread; can anyone confirm?

Max seat width at base area 20.75"
Max seat width at shoulder area 21.5"

Seems a bit small to me, but I don't know.

Also, anyone familiar with Nex seats? Yeah, I realize they're no sparco, etc. but they look decent.

 

No that should be right about 525mm bottom but I think you have a little more room in the top maybe 22" or 23" or 560mm or 584mm. But that might block the console. So safer to go smaller. The Bride Pros fit also

 

Thanks Dan. So 525 across the width of the seat bottom will fit? Those are the #'s I've been looking for.

 

I "good" thread, but not a "great" thread. Not yet, anyway.

Can anyone tell me which seat will give me the most distance between the brake pedal and back of the seat where the seatback meets the back of the bum cushion (if you follow that)? That's the crucial dimension for me, and it can't be determined any way other than actually getting out a tape and measuring the distance with the seat in place.

I, by the way, tried this week to persuade a dealer to allow me to remove the OEM seat for five minutes to enable me to place (not actually install) a Sparco Roadster seat in a new S2000. I just wanted to place the seat on the floor and see if that would give me the two inches of additional legroom I need to fit into the car. Try as I might, I could not convince the dealers' reps that just removing the OEM seat and replacing it again (four lousy bolts!) wouldn't somehow void the manufacturers' warranty. (Utter madness!)

So, if you have an aftermarket seat in your S2000 and tape measure handy, I certainly would appreciate hearing from you.

My god the factory S2000 seats are beautiful (better than any Ferrari or Porsche)! Why in the world would anyone get rid of them!?
