Default A question on seating: Sparco vs. USDM

i'm trying to sell my civic and get an ITR, what i'm wondering is, if i should keep my Sparco Torino and put it on the ITR or just sell the Sparco and keep the USDM ITR seat. i have never sat in the ITR seat before so i don't know how it compares to the Torino. does anyone know which holds better? thanks.

ITR seats are very nice. Never sat in a Torino before though.

I tried the old Torino in my friend's civic.......it does provide a little more holding force if compare to the ITR seat ( please note that the ITR seat is just like integra seat with different skin ). The Sparco will give you more support at the leg area for sure and probaby have a lower seating position too( depend on your bracket ).

yeah, the Torino had a much lower sitting position than the stock SI one which is nice. i would prefer to keep the seat but maybe increases chances of people buying my car if i sold it with the car.

OH easy choice, SPARCO

The ITR seats have NO shoulder support, in fact all USDM integra seats SUCK in that department.
The ITR seat fabric is great,m and they sure look beautiful, but they are NOT as functional as the seats from a Del Sol or better yet your Sparco Torinos during hard driving.
For me, even Del Sol seats are an improvement over ITR seats.
I would keep your Sparco Torinos, and sell your ITR seats.. you can get a pretty penny for them in todays market and most likely you will easily find a local buyer for the ITR seats so you wont have to pay shipping.
