I've had two sets of Sparco Sprints so far. I've driven to Houston, San Antonio, and all over the place from Dallas and never had a problem. I actually love the way they feel. But some people prefer the reclinables, and don't like to be couped up in a seat all of the time.

Depends on the person and how far u drive...
When I had my Brides, they were not uncomfortable, but then again I never took longer than 2 hour trips.
But if u take long trips all the time , I dont recommend them.

I've had my sparco sprints for several years now and never thought they were uncomfortable for 2-3 hours drives. Just sit in them properly and you'll be fine... just don't slouch low in your seat like a "YO-Boy" while you're driving or anything goofy like that.

I like my Sprints. Never been in them more then about 2-3hrs though, but that wasn't that bad and I'm 6'4". They are the best quality, most confortable, most affordable , non-reclinable racing seat I've every sat in. Some of my buddies have Corbeau's and they are some junky, unconfortable, ugly seats. Those are about the only 2 non-reclinable racing seats I've had experience with.

Personally, almost any seat feels beter on a long drive than my factory EG seats. Sparcos, if you don't try to pimp in them are much more comfortable than the stock seats. My favorite is the Momo 1000 lakes though. They grip real tight and have support in all the right places.

My Pro2k is very comfortable, felt fine to me on a day of about 6 hours combined driving.

People say a lot of dumb ****; I personally enjoy the '8lb flywheels are not streetable' heresay crap.

buckets keep you in good posture, they are more comfortable than any reclinable seat imo, during long drives you wont get fatigued so easily.
