Any one have experience with Sparco or Planted bases?

Trying to decide on which one to order...

I have used Planted bases and they work fine. I spoke with a guy from Sparco a few years ago and he admitted Planted made their bases. That may or may no longer still be true.

Currently using a sparco seat base, with no issues. It does have a little bit of a rake in the front, but that hasn't been an issue for me.

Would you say it sits higher than a Buddy club low down, or Bride, after stacking the base, slider, and bracket?

Based on what you've seen?

Sparco Evo 2 Plus on Nagisa rails. Tight fit but it works.

Didn't drop as much as I thought with these first revision of brackets I made...less than 1/2". But at least I'm now able to see the lights at intersections while in the driving position (just barely). Seat is way more comfortable than stock one, even with not as much rake as I want right now. And you don't flop around in the drivers seat anymore as it really holds you in place. Interesting how it changes the driving experience... feels like you are an integral part of the chassis where you can feel much more of what the car is doing - almost like sitting in a bolted in, solid mounted non-reclining race seat.

I will be making more brackets to get a more optimal seating position with even more comfort like I know it can; higher in the front with more rake and I have an idea how I can drop the rear. The seat also needs to move towards the center tunnel at least 1/2" to be more centered with the steering wheel. The 3.3 ohm resistor is working great to keep the SRS system happy and took a little figuring to get the seatbelt light and chime to stop coming on...thanks to this thread realized just needed to leave the connector unplugged.

So nice to have a seat that doesn't hurt to sit in...and the extra benifits of being so securely gripped and feeling what the chassis is doing unlike ever before are outstanding as well. Stock seats are so vague in communication and don't hold you that well in place they might as well be bench seats in an older american sedan... LOL

I´m planning to install recaros too - any possibility that you will put here detailed pictures of mounts? Thank you

I installed a corbeau fx1 pro with buddy club rails. Can't get the seat centered to the steering wheel. It sits left about an inch, stock seat has the same problem. All the cars I've sat in with buddy club rails have this problem.

Anyone recommend a seat rail with sliders that is centered?
Nagisa is good, but the price is a little out of my budget.
Anyone try bride fg rails and can say they are centered?

sorry for the bump... any recommendations for someone who is 5'4" and has a 29 pants waist size? I'm a small dude, I currently have the seat maxed out in the height section, and a little more than halfway slid up.

Luckily, I still fit with my helmet with the seat maxed out in height.

Thanks!

I would recommand a BRIDE zeta 3. The standard size for yourself. I run the Zeta 3 L and i'm a size 34 waist. The L is snug for me which is perfect but would be to large for you.
