What Fibreglass Bucket Seats Fit In A Honda S2000?

Which Fibreglass Bucket Seats Fit in a Honda S2000?

Choosing the right fibreglass bucket seat for your Honda S2000 can be a challenge due to its compact and uniquely designed interior. At GSM Performance, we’ve worked closely with S2000 owners to identify seats that fit perfectly without the need for extensive modifications. While the Honda S2000 is an incredible car, its tight cockpit space restricts the options for aftermarket bucket seats, making it essential to select seats designed for narrow interiors.

One recent customer attempted to fit the Mirco GT Fibreglass Motorsport Seat into their S2000 AP1/AP2. Unfortunately, its base width exceeded 500mm, which caused it to sit too far to one side and hit the door cards. From this experience, we determined that any seat with a base width over 500mm will likely touch the interior panels of the Honda S2000. To avoid these issues, we’ve curated a selection of seats that fit comfortably within these dimensions and provide an excellent balance of style, comfort, and functionality.

Why Bucket Seat Options Are Limited for the Honda S2000

The Honda S2000, known for its sporty design and precise handling, comes with a tight interior that limits the choices for aftermarket bucket seats. A recent customer attempted to fit a Mirco GT Fibreglass Motorsport Seat into their S2000 (AP1/AP2). While the seat’s quality and comfort were excellent, the base width exceeded the car’s floor plan dimensions. As a result, the seat sat too far to one side, causing it to hit the door cards.

From this, we discovered that any seat with a base width over 500mm will encroach on the car’s interior panels. To ensure a perfect fit without the need for bodge work or door card removal, the seats must fall within these specific measurements.

Recaro SPG Seat Dimensions & Perfect Installation Example

When choosing a bucket seat for the Honda S2000, the Recaro SPG is a well-regarded option due to its balance of comfort, support, and fitment. With an overall height of 830 mm and a length of 790 mm, this seat provides excellent driver support while maintaining a compact footprint. The seat width at the shoulders measures 580 mm, while the base width is 500 mm, ensuring a snug but manageable fit within the S2000’s tight cabin. Key considerations include the 335 mm inner seat width, which affects driver comfort, and the 406 mm mounting width, which determines rail compatibility. The detailed image above highlights these dimensions, helping customers compare fitment constraints when selecting the perfect seat for their setup.
