Default What seats do you have?

As the topic says, I am mainly looking for feedback on the Sparco Torino/Milano or the Evo or Evo2's. And yes I know one is reclineable and the other is not. I like either but by not having a Sparco dealer in OH or shop that can get go and sit in them I am looking for feedback on them.
I do autocross, they would be in a daily drive (civic coupe), and I am 6'7" and 190lbs.

thx

I sat in the Torinos recently, but I'm just a little shy of 6'7" 190.

Anyways, they might be good for occasional autox, but not enough sides support for me.

It's very important to actually sit in the seat before you buy it. It doesn't matter how much people tell you about these seat, we are all built a little different. Try to find someone at a local event or meet that will let you try theirs out.

I have sat in the Sparco Torino's, I like those but I am looking at a fixed seat.
I too agree that one need's to sit in a seat before buying.
But like I said no shop in the Cincinnati or Columbus,OH area carry sparco seats.

Who all is going to Gingerman on June 23rd...

My friend has the EVO in his Type R rally car. He is 5 foot 8 or so and around 200 pounds (not a small kid) and he likes it alot. I am 6 feet, 175 pounds and I find it to be comfy (makes my feel like I am swimming in the factory R seats). I would go with the EVO, but you NEED to sit in the seat first if you think you are going to spend a lot of time in it. Also, look into the CORSA.

Have decent prices.

Thanks for the sites!
I am gonna hold out till Gingerman and see what seats that guys there have in their cars.. hopefully some one will have the Evo's

I have sat in the whole corbeau line, some I liked and some I didn't. Also I have also sat in Recaro SRD's and the Trend's.
I want to sit in some differet sparco's and then base my opinion.

Seats are a pricey item, I want to make sure I am gonna be happy with them..

Thx
