Used to be that Sparco had the Evo, and then the Evo 2 and 3 for us larger folk. I notice now that Sparco has the Evo, Evo 2, and the Evo 2 US. It looks as if they're using "US" as a euphemism for "fatty." I believe the current Evo 2 is just taller than the regular Evo.
While I find that kind of funny, the seat renaming does bring up a question: I need a replacement seat cover for my old Evo 2--do I need to order one made for the US model, or the current Evo 2, or some other option?

Contact OG Racing. They have the largest stock of Sparco in the country.

Those replacement covers may not be available anymore. They were for the US market only. I ordered one a few years ago and never got it. Sparco USA was nice enough to correspond with me, but they never got any shipping information from the factory in Italy. It was the same story, 'It might be on the next container'.
After 14 months I gave up and took the seat to a local upholstery shop.
I really hope you have better luck.
Here is what my EVO 2 looked like before and after. I had them add more padding to the seat and lumbar.

Daaaamn, was your set mauled by a bear?!
OG Racing actually has one cover in stock for my seat, but it's blue, and I'd prefer black. The covers for the "updated" seats (which may be updated in name only, for all I know) are also available, but again, I'm not sure which "updated" cover (if any) matches my seat.

THAT's GREAT!!! I was looking for a blue one.
Looks like the EVO 2 US is actually the EVO 2 PLUS shown in the size chart. You can confirm with measurements. Hope this helps.

I talked to OG Racing today and they said that the old Evo 2 is now named the Evo 2 US. I ordered the replacement cover, so if it doesn't fit, I'll update this thread with that info.
