what do you guys think is the best sparco seat to buy? and does anyone have pics of red sparcos in type r's?

 

Depends on if your *** is fat or slim...
Watch out for "REV" and "EVO"...

Good stuff, good price

 

im 6'2 and weigh 140 yes im skiiny

 

What type of seat are you looking for? Fixed bucket or something adjustable? The Torino's seem to be very popular as far as the adjustable go and I think the Evo's would be a good suggestion for a bucket. Budget is also a consideration,both of the afformentioned seats should run you in the neighborhood of $500 give or take.

Sparco Utras are light at just over 12 lbs each

 

I like EVO myself and think Pro 2000(?) is not bad too.....

 

You sound like you are set on Sparco's, any particular reason? I think it would be a good idea to check out the seat in person and sit in it and look at it. I wanted Sparcos really bad myself until I compared the quality with Cobra's seats.

If you're going to use the seats for sanctioned racing, or HPDE's, like the ones NASA and SCCA holds, then your seats should be FIA approved.

Here are some pics of Sparco's in ITR's:

 

is the best for my body 5"11 160lb
try most sparco and omp .. no one fits better than my ULTRA...

 

i kinda wanted the torino, but after lookin at those pics the corsa and the evo look really nice, i wish i had a place where i can sit in them and test them out.

 

if i got the coras could i still use the regualr seat belt?

 

Anyone know if you can adjust a sparco vertically? I sat in one the other day and it sat really low in the car. (Don't mean to hijack the thread but didn't want to start another thread with a similar topic)

 

You could probaby put some small shims(washers) under the bracket and raise it up very slightly that way. Don't know if that's advisable though.

Most people have headroom problems when they put a helmet on, therefore aftermarket seats tend to be slightly lower.

 

damn, they need to make some seats for us short guys (5'6")

 

look at the picture ..
the bracket allow you to adjust vertical height..

 

Thanks.

 

The ITR with the two corsas is mine. I don't know how that pic ended up on another site. Anyway, I have plenty of mounting pics if you have any questions about making it lower/higher. I ended up using a hacked OEM slider set from a 95 civic. I sat in plenty of seats and I liked the corsas the best because of their huge leg bolsters. It's personal preference.
