Torino vs A4
Which seat would you go for?
A4-
$320
Smaller
Less show
Torino-
$599
Larger, more support
More show
Im leaning towards the A4, I dont like the bulkyness of the Torino, it looks bad ***, but I think it would look funny in a small car. Im also adding an Autopower rollbar, and harnesses.

Re: Torino vs A4 (gmoore379)
hahahah how is the torino too "stunna".... .next thing i know people will be calling JDM CTR recaro's "stunna".... 
i've owned both. a4's are good bang for the buck, but the side supports arent too padded and overall its not as comfortable a seat. the torino is a bit wider but still grips very well. i'd go torino over a4 any day.
Torino looks bad ***, but its crazy expensive and alittle too stunna for my tastes.

(trademark red and yellow). Anyways, I have sat in a sparco torino, and it was extremely comfortable and supportive. I don't think you'll regret getting them.

Re: Torino vs A4 (gmoore379)
I have no idea how big you are but if your bigger than 5'9 and somewhat wide sholdered the A4's are too narrow. I am 6'3 and weigh 210 and have the Corbeau TSC or TCS i forget but it comes in a wide version and the support is excellent and at $275 a seat its great

Re: Torino vs A4 (Halo)
Im 5'10, give or take, 145lbs, give or take. Ok, even I got over the my "stunna" ideas, 599 bucks is an assload of money. Plus what my rollbar, harness, and install will cost.
Would you just get the seat and say screw the bar and harness?

Recaro's actually are "stunna" for the most part here in the states, you must be crazy to buy STOCK seats for over $1200 just because they came from japan so you can SHOW them off.

Re: Torino vs A4 (white_rice83)
I would probably go with Torinos just because if I were ever to sell them...it would probably be easier because of the name. Also, I think the Torinos look a hell-of-alot better than the A4.

Re: Torino vs A4 (Eckz2k)
I had Torinos on my previous teg and they were great for the street. If you can find a Recaro SRD for the same price as the torino, I'd go with that instead.

Re: Torino vs A4 (NotQuiteJdm)
enough with this stunna nonsense. this is getting so freaking out of hand.
yes, jdm recaros look nice... but if you've ever sat in one, its like heaven. they are even more comfortable than my torinos and they sit lower too. i tried out my buddy al's ctr recaros and i didnt even want to get out. those seats are worth the $ in my opinion... from a COMFORT standpoint, not a show standpoint.
