And you can wear a helmet at the track without your head hitting the roof (my current problem with the stock seats)
I don’t mean to thread jack but wanted to give Devil G this info as a few others have thought the same. It’s actually still a very tight squeeze if you were to wear a helmet with the sparco r100s. I don’t track, but I do have a motorcycle helmet, and I imagine I would only have millimeters of room if I wore it in the car even with these seats. (I am 5 foot 8 for reference) They do add a lot of support though. A definite noticeable difference from stock.

Its not thread jacking, that's good info tbh.
Im 5"11 and i sit with my upper seat tilted far back + open the cloth headliner (not the glass part of the sunroof because of obvious danger), i still have to turtle shrug my head into my shoulders a tad while doing laps lol. Its so annoying!!
Maybe they have rails that lower sparco seats more? I always prayed that sparco seats would be my ticket to comfort one day with a helmet on lol
my helmet is an hjc ar-10 iii which i think is a tad shorter on the top than a motorcycle helmet.
Painted my brake calipers and put on new drilled and slotted rotors in the front, the back are coming soon. Also installed a Megan strut brace and I love it I feel the difference immediately especially in the turns. The paint job I did was my very first and I think it came out nice but I see where I made mistakes and will do better the next time I change the color. Masking the car off was long and challenging when you’re fighting the wind. And I live in Miami so it always either hot windy or rainy so pick your poison. But it turned out fine at the end. Putting on the rotors was the easiest thing I ever did to this car, simple jack up the car take off the wheel remove the brake calipers and pop the old one off then slap the new ones on and we’re in business. Masked up and ready to paint Letting it dry overnight Next morning Brand new PowerStop Z26 drilled and slotted rotors Megan strut brace Paint job came out nice on this too
Nicely painted calipers With the red brake bleeder caps

Had them same rotors but took them off after about a year. They don't have the best rust protection, the rears barely come with any at all, and they don't stop as well as blank rotors. You have to put your foot into them to get them to really bite.

Bro u are right, the stock brake have better bite force than these but I had to replace them because they were warped. I think I may change out the brake pads to a better quality brand. When I hit the brakes I really have to put my foot down and I hate that, I was expecting it to stop better with less input. Hopefully changing the pads will solve this problem.
Red caliper bleeder valve caps, huh? Feels like I should get a set of those.
Hmmm.
😂 😂 I wanted to be different from the traditional black ones. I got them from eBay for $20 shipped from the UK, they come in a 4 pack and I bought 2 packs for each caliper. Here’s the link if u want to check em out. They also come in different colors. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-x-Red-Bra...-127635-2958-0

Naw bud, you gotta change them rotors. Slotted and drilled don't stop as well as blank rotors, at least on the street. Can't speak for the track. Powerstop Z23/26 brakes pads are the best low dust pads I've had on my G though.
