Default Anyone have the Sparco Circuit seat?

How do you like it?

The padding just seams a little on the "minimalist" side, so I'm just curious if anyone think's theirs is a little uncomfortable?

I currently have the fighter2 seat, but would like something with built in head protection (being 6'3 and a 10pt cage in a CRX don't mix).

TIA!
Bryson

yeah thats my other question. My fighter fits like a glove, but it looks like the circuit would be a little tighter. I'm wondering if the circuit pro would be a better choice.

could you measure the inside waist dimension of your circuit for me? I'd really appreciate it!

I have it. I think the cushion is fine. The seat is a snug fit for me. 5'8" 150 lbs 32" waist. If you have a wider torso than mine, you're really not going to fit in it.

Yeah, I think the pro circuit might be a better choice. I'm 6'3 200lbs and 36" waist. I'd rather have it a little big than too small.

I checked out the Pro Circuit and it was too tight for me and I believe the wing portion was too close to my shoulders (6'2" 200# and 38" waist). I went with the Recaro Pro Racer and would also suggest you look at some of the Wide-Tall Racetech offerings. Cobra also has a good offering with lateral head protection.

Cobra Sebring and the Sebring S for the bigger drivers!
