Race seats questions
I dont want to mess up and order the wrong stuff so I figured I'd reach out for help.
I have been looking at the Sparco EVO XL but was told it doesnt fit well in the m2 comp. It rubs the B pillar. I started looking at other XL seats but coming up short in my quest for knowledge. I am looking at OMP HTE-R XL RECARO Profi Racing Seat Is anyone running either of these two seats or have other recommendations for XL size seats? I know a lot of people are recommending the Cobra Nagaros but I am looking for something with a little more track than street compromise. This isn't my daily but I will have to drive it to events so I don't want to go to an extreme. Last edited by Anonymoose; 09-30-2021 at 12:34 PM.. |

As luck would have it I called around to different shops and one had an m2c in for an oil change. It had Sparco QRT installed. With the QRT there is a 1/2 inch between seat and door panel and 1/2 inch between the seat and center console.
So that means the Evo-L and QRT should be able to fit. I'll check measurements of the Recaro profi and OMP HRE |

I have HTE-R XL in my race car. I'm moving to a Racetech 4119 because it fits me just a hair better but over a 70min race that can make a bit of a difference. If for some reason the Racetech doesn't pan out I have zero issues going right back the HTE-R - it has been very comfortable.
I have Cobra Nogaros waiting to go in to the M2C once the BK mounts are here. Since I will drive this car on the street some I did not want halo seats. I have driven with halo streets on the street - definitely doable but would prefer not to. Bit concerned with the shoulders on the Nogaro though - but others here noted the same thing and said once in the driving position they were good.

Will be using the oem electric sliders. Had a similar setup on my E92 M3 before it went full race car and really liked it.

I really liked the OMP wrc-xl. It fit me and was comfortable. Sadly the bolsters area was too large to fit in the m2. Base would fit but up top it would rub. The hte-r fit both top and bottom but I wasn't comfortable with the halos on the street even though you could look past them. I didn't want to smash my head in the event of a crash on the road with no helmet. So I left with the vinyl cobra norgaros with dynamica centers. Thanks OG Shark for the advice. |
