Here's my question, how does the comfort of a Sparco Tourino seat compare with that of the stock ITR seat? Is it comfortable for long drives and as a daily driver? Also, will EK brackets fit? I can get the seat and an EK bracket for $475 and was curious to know if it's worth it. Thanks

 

Hey what's up!!! I really like my seats. The Torinos are comfortable...I sat in them going to NOPI in Atlanta...that's like 10-12 hours drive. EK brackets will not fit.

 

actually i think EK brackets will fit . the guy i sold my itr seats to has an ek and they bolted right in from what he said . .
I love my tourino . it takes a little getting used to fromt he stock ones, but much more supportive.

 

i had ITR seats before and i can definitely say that the torinos are more comfortable for my back. they also have better side bolster support which keeps your body planted on turns.

 

up for the morning crew

 

If you use the EK brackets, only 3 of the holes will line up.

 

So would i have to drill another hole or would i be fine with just 3 holes aligned? How much do new brackets for this seat run? Is $475 a good price for the seat or is there something better out there for that price?

 

$475 is a gret price for that seat , retial is $599.
if you need new rails and brackets and **** prob looking at min of $120 for a wedge bracket and sparco sliders. . . well if you already have the slider you will just need the base and they are like $50

 

Just curious, at a bunch of the shows I've gone to, guys with Sparcos seemed to always have faded cloth. It was moreso on the red seats, but also on a few of the black/grey ones. Is this the case with any of you?

 

recaro's are better...

 

So you can get recaros with sliders/brackets for $450?

 

I agree for sure. The torinos are still a lot nicer then stock though.

 

it seems like any seat that is visible to the sun WILL eventually fade. I've noticed that the top of the rear ITR seats turn bluish after time...

Thanks,
Victor

 

from my experience.. there stiffer/harder than stocks, but very comfy... dunno how'd they compared to recaro's though.

 

I love my Torino. It's very supportive. I highly, HIGHLY recommend them.

 

GRRRRR.... yea, this pisses me off....

 

sit in as many seats as you can before you buy one. You wouldn't buy a 500 dollar suit without trying it on first...you might be surprised what you find comfortable and uncomfortable. Sparco crawled into my room at night and took a mold of my body while i was sleeping, and then they made the Evo just for me and waited to see how long before i got one. If i'd gotten the seat i thought i wanted when i first started looking, i'd be in sad shape, it ended up being the least comfortable one in the whole sparco lineup for me. The Evo is my seat, go find out which one yours is before you buy anything.

 

good advice.
everyone is different.
