Wassap guys, im currently modding my tc right now to the fullest, I just got an Injen exhaust (being installed tomorrow :silly: ) and some HIDs, and I was looking at a few tcs, and the red Sparco seats is a look I really like. I dont want my car to see too street or rice, but its a nice touch to a highly modded tc (which I plan to do in the next year). My questions are

1. Are they worth giving up the stock seats?
2. How good are Sparco seats?
3. Is it too rice?
4. Which model Sparco seat would you recommend? I would not go over $500.
5. How comfy are Sparco seats and are they convenient in terms of letting people in and out of the back?

Thanks guys. :bow:

Good luck. Out of their entire lineup of 20-odd seats, you'll find two.. maybe four.. cheap, non-reclinable, narrow seats.

Oh well, then I guess I would spend more if that meant better seats in terms of being able to recline and being comfy and etc.

Give yourself a budget of about $1400 for two seats if you want to be able to slide and recline. That takes into account brackets and shipping, too.

Thats not so bad, as long as they are as comfy and convenient as the stock seats, im fine.

if you plan on builiding a "highly modded tc" but dont want to spend more than $500 on seats...GL

like Dogbert said, your gonna need 2 seats, $1000 plus brackets, sliders, and moutning hardware which add about $400 more. and shipping is not cheap cuz the seats are exactly the lightest thing...

1. At the track, yes. On the street, not really.
2. Overpriced, but good.
3. Yes, if you're not going to use them for their intention, which is for the track.
4. I'd go with the EVO or Torino 2, depending on whether I'd want recline or not.
5. Go sit in them before you buy them.

Not to sound like a douche, but if you're the slightest bit over weight, I say avoid getting high bolstered seats. I'm 6'3 180, and I was nice and snug in the Torino2's (or at least I think that's what they were).

Also, add in the price of GOOD brackets, not universal ebay garbage and shipping, and you can pretty much take the price of the seat and multiple it by 3.

Personally, I'd go with Corbeau's, I think they're more comfortable and they're generally cheaper. You can get a pair of CR1's for $800, plus shipping plus brackets.
