A pair of Sparco GT seats in the Houndstooth Edition. Part number 009012NRBI-X2.

Houndstooth is why you are on this page. The centre panels are the black and white check that has been in fast cars since the sixties, against black vinyl outers. In a classic, a restomod or anything where the interior is part of the point, a pair of these changes the character of the car in a way a plain black seat cannot.

The seat underneath

The GT is the reclining seat in Sparco’s range with the widest fit. All heights, across a 32 to 38 inch waist, which is a broader bracket than the R333 and means fewer people find the bolsters in the wrong place. For a car that other people will drive, that matters.

Steel frame, base mount, no armrests, no head support wings. It takes a four point harness and works with the standard diagonal belt.

Cloth centres against vinyl outers also wear the way you want: vinyl takes the scuffing on the bolsters, cloth stays comfortable where you sit.

Fitting

Base mount on the 345mm by 271mm pattern, shared across the Sparco reclining range, so sub-frames and runners carry over.

Seats only. Each side needs a vehicle specific sub-frame, plus runners if you want fore and aft adjustment. Tell us the car.

Road and Track, no FIA homologation. Showroom stock.

Sparco seat size guide

Sparco give every shell a size letter, S to XL, and publish the weights. The letter tells you more than the model name does.

How Sparco size their seats

Sparco’s own rule for the Evo family is the clearest in the trade: Evo S up to a 32 inch waist, Evo to 34, Evo L to 36 and Evo XL for 38 and above. The rest of the range follows the same letters. A Circuit QRT is an M, the Circuit II is the L; the Grid Q is an XL; the Rev is S and M, the Rev II is L and XL; the Sprint is an M and the Sprint L an L.

QRT is Sparco’s resin transfer moulding, so a QRT shell is the lighter version of the same shape. The Master and Master Advanced are the newer 8855-2021 shells at 32 to 36 inch, and the ADV Prime is the 8862-2009 carbon seat for drivers over 6 ft.

Measure yourself first

Four numbers decide whether a seat fits. Take them in the clothes you drive in, and write them down before you compare models.

AWaistAround your natural waist, not your trouser size. Trouser sizes usually run an inch or two under the real figure, and the waist bands on our product pages use the real one.
BSeated hip widthSit on a hard chair with your feet flat and measure straight across the widest point of your hips with a rule or a straight edge, not a tape that follows the curve. This is the number that decides whether a fixed shell is tight.
CShouldersStraight across the back at the widest point. Fixed back seats hold you here, so a shell that is narrow at the shoulders is uncomfortable long before it is unsafe.
DHeight and torsoYour height, and if you are over 6 ft whether that is mostly leg or mostly body. A long body needs a taller shell with the head support set higher.

Before you order

  • Check the car, not only the driver. Transmission tunnels, door cards and B pillars are what stop a wide shell going in. Our seat mounting and fixing points guide covers what to measure.
  • Side mount and base mount shells are not interchangeable. Which one you need depends on the car and the subframe, so pick the brackets at the same time as the seat.
  • If you run a HANS or plan to, filter on HANS friendly. The shoulder openings are cut to clear the collar.
  • FIA seats carry an expiry date on the homologation label. Check what your championship accepts and how long the seat has left, particularly on discounted older stock.
Send us your measurementsWaist, seated hip width, height and the car. We have fitted a lot of Sparco seats and will tell you honestly if the one you have picked is going to be tight. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.

Waist bands and heights are our product data, checked 6 September 2026. Size letters and weights are from Sparco’s 2019 dimension sheet; the Evo waist rule is Sparco’s own.

Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 36in to 38in or 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.

What do I need to fit it to my car?
You need the car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner for fore-and-aft adjustment. Tell us your car and we will quote the complete fitting kit in one go. Our sliding runner guide covers the adjustment side.

Does it recline like a normal seat, and what about armrests?
Yes, the backrest reclines, which is the whole point of a sport recliner over a fixed bucket: support in the corners, comfort on the motorway, and access to rear seats. Armrests: not fitted on this model. Our recliner lineup comparison shows how the ranges stack up.

I am a bigger driver. Will it work for me?
Possibly, and it depends on the exact shell rather than the brand. We wrote a straight-talking guide on sport recliners for larger drivers from real showroom fittings, and if you send us your waist and height we will tell you honestly which recliners work at your size.
