Also, if the Ergo doesn't fit well, there's really no other option. I was thinking about having my cake and eat it too. I've done some more research and the only real option is to use something like the RaceTech RTRoad for the street (its a side mount fixed-back seat that has a 410mm mounting width). There are a handful of full containment seats that have a similar mounting width (Ergo is 415mm, Sparco Circuit II is 410mm, OMP HTE-R is 420mm). All of those would fit with the BK 390mm-429mm mounts for OEM sliders using the different sized spacers that come with the brackets. So ideally, you'd use the RTRoad for the street and then swap to the "other" seat at the track (its just 4 bolts on the side of the seat, right?).

Unfortunately, the other Cobra seats like the Evolution and Sebring have 380mm mounting widths which would require re-orienting the BK bracket itself.
The Brey Krause brackets work with all seats except some race tech models. No idea if the RTroad is one of the ones it doesn’t work with.
