I still have the stock seats in my 328, but the EVO comes from the factory with Recaro "Sport" seats. They're bottom mount, with an adjustable tilt back. I got a bit interested in what else would fit on those rails, as I wasn't very impressed with the seats. Except for the full tubs (with individually fitted inserts), most Recaros are bottom mount. On a Ferrari, you'd probably have to replace the factory rails. And you'd probably want to, to get SCCA/FIA certified rails that won't shift the seat position in an impact. | ||

I have been thinking about racing seats in my 308, which is just about the same as a 328... My question is, which model seat has anyone mounted. and would that seat be a bottom mount rather then a side mount, and were the original rails used or did they have to come out?? | ||

Where could one go to try out different seats to see what is best for them? | ||

Crawford, Forward/back adjustments come from the mounts, rather than the seats. Some mounts also have up/down adjustments as well. Size and adjustability of the seats vary by model. Prices vary wildly by model, from the basic bucket with individual inserts to the $2500 Ergomed DS with more controls than the starship enterprise.  Both Recaro and Sparco have listings on the web. A google search will find them. | ||

there is a 328 on ebay right now that has 70K miles and racing seats. Looks good, but odd at the same time. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6212&item=2438972034 | ||

Am considering some racing seats, but had a couple of questions... Are racing seats adustable (foward/back and reclining)? Do they sit higher than the OEM seats? Is lateral support noticably better? |
