If I could find someone to do a $500 rollbar for mine I'd have done it already. Thats a really good price.

I'll try to take some pics. Ive got a sparco roadster myself.
Dude - def put some pics up. I really need to see this. Also, just fyi: Evo 2's are hella wide, hence - why I had to get rid of the Nagisa's.

BTW: When you use the sliders, and bend the sheet metal, is the seat "floating"? Meaning, its a hybrid sidemount setup?

they are sidemount seats but they will bolt to the sheet metal brackets and from there to the seat rails. My roadster uses bottom AND sidemount bolts so I think for extra strength I'm gonna wrap a piece of sheet metal at a right angle to use BOTH side and bottom mounts. why not...

Ended up running 600, haha. Need to make a few more minor adjustments too and I'll be set.

Will get pics up soon, lots of lil things to finish.
