anyone have experience with these seats?

im a real big guy, am I gonna not fit in or not be comfortable in racng seats like these? and how comfortable are they?

does anyone have any for sale?

these seats are real comfortable. the side bolsters seat nicely and are great for turns. i've rode in a lot of cars with these seats installed and they definitely hold up in wear & tear, quality, function and looks.

if you're not sure if you'll fit refer to Sparco's website. define "big" as well...hehe. if not, you can research a pair of Corbeau seats. they have a particular seat that looks similar to the Recaro SRD seat and has a certain size for larger adults. check it out... it's an alright seat for the money (not a "ricer" crap quality seat). the padding is fairly stiff and supportive like the torino.

i talked to Terry from Spool about these seats already. i only asked him about fitment into an MSP. he said it can be done but its a b****. i said that was good enough for me and i didn't want to get into it anymore than that and said forget that idea. which sucks because those damn things fit in with the color scheme oh so damn well

How are Corbeaus as far as quality goes? Ive heard that in other cheap seats like the Razos the color starts to fade over time, the corbeaus look as if theyre built better but you never know.

what? i have sparco torino's pro-motion (limited edition) i love them! they are so sweet..im 6'2 250lbs..i fit great in them..BUT...with the new discovery of bride's BRIX seats..its left me a little unsettled..

 

[slug420]

maybe ill buy your torinos

i assume the brides u are referring to are the ones from autornd which dont recline?

 

[starflare21]

the Bride seats, IMO, are a little too soft for me. find someone that has them in stock at a shop and test them out. they're a good seat for everyday but performance wise the lower cushion like i said is a little too soft for my tastes. i like the more firm feel the Torino gives.

as for the Corbeau, Tenzo R quality!? no way. there's a difference between made in europe and made in taiwan i will admit that some corbeau seats are a little questionable but there are some in the line that aren't too shabby. can't compare to sparco though.

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

i thought the BRIX recline..either way..BRIX or the EGRO's..they are dope..yea im not selling my pro-motions..they match my syclone too well..besides they dont fit in the protege..i would have to have custom made seat rails..

If you're a big guy Corbeau makes some of their seats in a wide option.
