Good to know...

Did you use Sparcos in your 2nd gen Camaro? If so, which ones? And did you purchased the mounting brackets from these guys also? Interesting, Sparco doesn't show a 2nd gen bracket in the list on their website, but Racing Seats USA does list a 2nd gen bracket.

I had Sparco's in my second gen with the older bracket, and the seat was pretty high. It looks like the newer bracket style would lower the seat, but I don't know of anyone who has used them...

Appreciate the feedback!

Checkout http://www.ogracing.com/. Looks like they have everything you're looking for. Take a look at the closeout section...they have some good deals on 2011 sparco harnesses.

Just an interesting FYI that I recently learned,,,, Recaro is owned by no other than Johnson controls (Johnson owns Optima) who support our hobby in a pretty major way..... Don't get me wrong I like my Sparco's too,,, but knowing what I do now,,,, I'll likely be sporting Recaro's in my future builds.....

That is interesting to know, thanx Albert... Unfortunately, I already picked up these:

Sparco R700A's

They arrive tomorrow... So while I can't work on the car much at the moment, I can still collect parts for it.

I wasn't really planning on quite such expensive seats, but I effectively got these 2-for-the-price-of-1, so it was hard to turn down. At the price of a set of R505's plus sliders and shipping, I basically paid the same for a much nicer set of seats.

Once in a while I come up with a decent deal...
