What Sparco's are they? Speeds? Evo? Some are cheaper than others. The Evo's are great but the Speed's are . Racing seats can be uncomfortable for long drives and hard to get in and out of. However, the snug fit and no body movement during cornering can be a plus.

I'm a fan of non-reclining buckets so I'd say got for it.

i have tenzoR rally seats which are reclinable, and i keep the seats at full upright position. I think its more comfertable this way, and its a better driving habbit to get into. i heard that race car drivers set the seat so that with their back flat on the back rest, and hands at 9 and 3, your forearm should be at 90 degress, which is about where mine is, its like 100 degress.

basically:
racing seats are great for spirited driving, cornering, saftey
GSR seats are great for comfort, girls, getting in and out of car.

Keep your leather, those other seats r gonna drop ur car's value. I would kill for leather seats, just like the guy that's willing to swap his racing seats for yours. And the racing seats rip up easily if its cheap material.

I hate leather. I'd definately get the sparco's.

Leather = slippage
