We started with Gen 5 Floor Mount SPARCO. 1 of the rear mounts had to be moved out wider about 1". I beleive SPARCO has the Gen 6 Bases in stock now.

I just checked Sparco and Planted and nothing is listed yet for the 16 model. Waiting on brackets to install Braum seats.

Just don't buy cheap crap and put it in a 4000lb car.....you are asking for a back/neck injury if you have a date with a wall. Saw a BRZ back into the wall at laguna 2 weeks ago, his cheap racing seat broke off of the base, he is lucky he is not crippled.

With racing seats, I would definitely recommend trying the seat in a shop, if at all possible before you buy, as some might be too snug for your body and become very uncomfortable.

I have a couple of Corbeau A4's that I used on my Gen5 build. As DFW1LE says, check it out first. One, a non-recliner, sat too high, and the Camaro cabin is rather cramped, so I really had no head room with a helmet. So I bought a reclining model and was able to fit.

I'm waiting for Corbeau to release brackets before I try their seat on my Gen6.

Measure and find seats that fit you....then see if they fit in the car. Little guys have way more options. Once you hit 200lbs, 34-36" waist or 6'2" choices thin out.
So many choices....as you can see I have been doing window shopping...errr, I mean research. :)
Still unsure about the head restraint models...for an occasional track day, overkill?? Road Atlanta for sure....

I’m waiting for someone to come out with something to disable the seat airbags without disabling the entire system and then I’ll buy a racing seat
