Carbon fiber, extremely low weight, and the fact that your butt will not move not matter what kind of driving your doing.


I like the Torino 2's best, good price and good options for a street car.

I hated how expensive the seats were....

I run TenzoR TypeR Evolution seats in my tC and can replace them 3 times before paying for one bride seat

And, to boot, everyone who has sat/looked at my car really liked how they fit with the interior and how they felt snugness wise...

Sparcos are Like Nike.. NAME.

You pay for quality too. Now, Bride seats are overpriced for what you get. It's trendy to get them, so people will pay through the nose for them. I dont think i've ever seen them in anything other than drift cars, and wanabe drifters.

Sparco's on the other hand come in all kind's of street, show, and race cars. I think SOME Sparco's are worth the cash. If i remeber correctly, they have seats for $300. And unlike APC seats and cheap brands like that, it's not just ABS plastic covered in cheap fabric.

I wouldn't say that sparcos are way higher quality than any others. I just got my megans in and holy ____. they are some of the nicest seats i've ever had for the price i paid.

Here is a pic.

I am running the Sparco Torino 2's. I like them. I sat in some other Cheaper seats and felt like I was falling backwards. They didnt have the sturdy feel to them. plus the seat felt real flat . I have no issues with my seats at all. I will use them for sure in my next build too.
