Should I go with Sparcos?

[1fastRS]

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Sparco Torinos, as in are they comfortable and does the price match the quality? I hace a set of Ractive racing seats right now, but the backs are a little too hard.

 

[KRAZYKOREAN]

Sparcos are nice...recaros are less seen on DSM...IMO are doper...your current seats have to go..I only say that cuz I dont like companies like ractive...to me its a ricer shizzle...not dissing you personally but thats how I feel

Torino's are big pimpin...

They llok good and will suffice for most. However you gotta know they aren't no rael racing seat and won't have the support (weight also) as somethign like the evo.

 

[1fastRS]

i know they arent the kind of seats your going to find in a race car, even though they are race legal. all i want to make sure is that they are built good and they are comfortable enough for everyday driving.

 

[candela]

they are

dont go with a name first, go with how they feel, its goin to look nice when it says "sparco" but what if lets say "bride" feels much better? id go with the ones that are comfy first, names later

Do the Sparcos or the Brides come with slots for a four point race harness??

I wanted Sparco Torino seats, until I taked with a tuner shop about them. They said they could get Sparco Torino remakes for 2 for $500. He said they look the same, feel the same, and hold you the same, but it just doesn't have the Sparco name at the top. But anything Sparco is sweet! Get them they feel really good.

I belive those Sparco look alikes are called R1 seats...they are on ebay, my friend has them and they look and feal great, very close to how torinos feel

ummm...

I disagree.. There is usually a reason why products are more pricey. Just look at body kit, you can get a wings west for $1000 and spend up to $10 grand on a real japanese body kit (C-west etc)

The reason Sparcos, recaros and brides are so high priced are because they are the best. If you want a good looking AND functional seat get a sparco, if you want RICE pick up any APC, knock off etc brand of bucket seats...

I would go with cheaper seats like r1's they are just as comfortable and look good. Thats my .02

laterz

so basically the sparcos, or any seat that is made close to them (R1) are comfortable, then it just comes down to which is the best quality.

Ok i have had Corbeu CR1's in my 3000GT, Which I am sorry to say is no longer with us i miss that car...any way my friend has Sparco's in his RX7 they are nice also..but to tell you the truth I have a Pair of red and black APC bucket seats in my car. no they dont have the nice things like a one touch tilt/recline lever . But i broke my back in 7 places in a car wreck "WHICH I WAS NOT DRIVING IN... I guess you could say it was ironic my D&D wrecked that night and BLEW .00000000 she broke her shoulder blade" any way my APC's are just right for me not to hard but not to soft. all my friends hate them, keep telling me to get some soparco's. i just tell them how much you pay for yours? i paid 500$ for the pair....this was last year when i got them

What it comes down to is cost if you dont mind payingmore then get quality and something you know will last...if you dont want to spend that much then get knockoffs or lower priced seats...

I have torinos in my talon. They are very supportive and you don't move around in them at all. They also look cool if you care about that kind of stuff. I wouldn't call them comfortable by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[Brian]

Everyone overlooked Corbeau. Their CR-1 seats are very very nice, extremely comfortable and fit your body perfectso you dont move around alot, they also look great, look similar to the torinos and their price is more affordable, look into them ecspecially because after sitting in torinos and cr-1's they feel almost the same and are made the same but the corbeaus are cheaper.

 

[GSTdOff]

Are the CR1's comfortable enough to sit in for a couple hours at a time if need be?

 

[eclipse17psi]

i would go for RECARO seats.... KRAZYKOREAN is right about that
RECARO is rare in DSM car...I have a RECARO now and im loving it..
