Which seat would be better for comfort and reliability.

 

pix?

 

i dont know how to post pics.

 

Sparco Speed



Sparco Sprint

 

I'd take the speed it looks better for an all around chair and easier to sit in

 

the seat of the speed looks more comfortable but the belt openings on the sprint i like more

 

i had the speeds in my old SI till it got jacked, now when i compare them to my sparco "rev"s i have now ide say pay the extra cash and get the rev's they are fiberglass and weigh like 5-7 lbs

 

They look the same.

Are you on crack? Not even the carbon fiber revs weigh 5-7 pounds, the fiberglass ones are like 15 pounds.

I think you really need to find somebody with a pair and sit in them for a while, that's the only way you'll know what you like.

 

can you fit in both of them?

 

the sparco dealer in Hawaii told me the speeds are a lil more reclined making them more comfortable for daily driving. the sprints are more upright and meant more for track use.

good luck.

 

Are you buying this for a daily driver or a track car? Because IMO, a non-reclinable chair sucks as far as comfort goes.

 

i have speeds. i daily drive my car. i honestly love the feel of them. great value. nice look

I agree with this statement. I actually find the Sparco Speed more comfortable than my stock seat.

 

i have sprints best 180 bucks i ever spent in my entire life i daily drive this car too well not no more cause im scared to park it at school but yea i drove it all sumer and im not what you would call skinny i weigh like 210 and this seat was hella comfortable for long drives to the beach longest ive driven in this seat was 3 hrs and didnt feel one bit of pain SPRINT OWNS till u get in a accident the SPRINT OWNS YOU!!!!

 

I own sprints...I'd say there pretty comfortable...but i Weight 140lbs..so i fit perfectly..my brother weights 160+ and his *** is squeezed in the seat. Nice seat for the price.

 

what is the main difference between the two seats? they basically look the same to me in those pics.

 

The speeds have a smaller seat belt hole compared to the sprints, and they have a plastic protectant piece on the side bolsters. I guess its there so the sides of the seats wont get dirty when you go in and out of the car and you use those as handles? Thats my guess anyways.

 

I think sitting upright is more comfortable anyway, unless you like to sit like a stunna, get a reclineable haha

On the Sparco website you can get measurements of all the seats, get the one that meets your measurements better and it'll probably be more comfortable for both track/street driving.

 

I highly suggest you sit in the seats before buying them.... I have sat in sprints before and they are too tight around the upper rib cage section around where the triceps(sp?) meet the torso... they hug wayy too tight, and allow no movement. I am 6' tall and 140lbs and they were tight fit for me... even the two people I know that had those seats agreed that they were too tight at that spot. If they were bigger at that spot about 2inches, they would be perfect....

im gonna use it as a daily driver, occasional racer

 

With either make sure to buy the optional lumbar pad. HUGE difference.

where do they sell to lumbar pads

 

the sprint looks more supportive, but in a street car i guess comfort matters more, in which case the speed's would probably fit the bill a little better. also, the protective material on the seat's sides is gonna help alot with longetivity, you'll probably ***-grind the **** out of the arms everytime you step into the car so i think those would be the better buy.
