Default Any you guys look at a Sparco Corsa ever?



The seat looks really narrow, and really deep. $409 shipped free from makotoautotrends.com. Maybe good for the small Asian folk in here?

Oh, they also have Evo2's for $399 shipped free too, in dark blue. Seems like a killer deal.

Oh my god, are they really available in those colors?

Anyway, I have been running the Corsa for a couple of years and I really like it. I'm 6' 200# so they are not just designed for tiny people. I really like the leg bolsters for longer drives.

I've been using a Corsa (basic black) in my H4 CRX, and really love it. I had the chance to sit in all the Sparco seats at OG Racing, and the Corsa fit me like a glove. My butt and torso don't move around at all, even when I'm not belted in. I'm 5'9" and about 170 lb suited up, with a 34" waist.

That seat reminds me of the old school benetton multi-colored steering wheels.

there's a spec miata racer that's selling two corsas in red with the brackets from his old 2.5RS. i'm 6'1" 165-170 with a 34" waist (and asian) and his seats fit me perfectly. if i had room in my budget, i would ****** those up in a heartbeat.

There was a steering wheel that would match on Ebay a couple weeks ago.

Looks like the perfect seat for a Brazilian. They could slap on an Ayrton Senna or Rubens Barichello patch on it and it would sell like hotcakes.

I agree with Dan GSR though. I picked up a pair of OMP Grip Carbon/Kevlar seats. I had initially narrowed my choice between the Corsa and EVO, but after sitting in all 3, I picked the O-M-P. The Grip is an underated seat. Try it out before you pick up the Corsa! Talk to Frank at OMP: 360-366-0959.

I'm 5'5" and 155 lbs, and a waste that fluctuates between 32" and 34".

Time for a Noob question, what's the difference between side and bottom mount?

Both types mount to the car on the bottom, obviously. The bottom mount seats have brackets that attach to the bottom of the seat such that you don't see them. The side mount seats have a bracket that goes from the floor to the side of the seat (easy height adjustment).
