Default Sparco Speed and Sprint?

Do these feel the same? I noticed the Speed is under the "Street" section whereas the Sprint is under the "Competition" section. It is my understanding that they are both the same seats in almost all aspects minus the wear guards and such. Do the wear guards that make it durable for daily driving bump it into the "Street" section?

both of those are tubular frame right? i'm gonna say the stock ITR seats will be a lot higher quality, construction and material wise. save up and get some of the fiberglass shells, lightweight rocks.

Yea its the tube frame. I just want the support. Does it give less support than a stock seat? It can't be that heavier than stock.

i'm sure either will hold you much better than stock. I'd go for the Speed, the price difference isnt that much, and for a daily driver i'd want the reinforcement

Sprint- with out the the wear gaurd, but with higher leg support, they are harder to get in and out. Competition- FIA approved.

Speed- w/ wear gaurd, they have less leg support but easier to get in and out for daily driven. Street because they are NOT FIA apporved.
