Sparco Sprint on stock sliders. It sits alittle low and it sucks when I leave my phone and smokes in my pockets but other then that isnt bad for daily driving.

sprints are comfortable for me although some people have complained about the steel frame. also, it sits about an inch lower and wth my rollbar it makes my blindspots that much worse.

i had the sprints in my car not too long but it was pretty comfy...i had to use a pillow cus it sat soo low and i'm only like 5'9...the worst thing about the sprint seat was getting in and out...you get use to it eventually but it gets annoying....

Thats the only thing I sometimes dislike is getting my *** out of it. My grandfather wanted to take my car for a drive and couldn't get out of it.

The speed isn't a new seat, but from everything i've heard they are very similar seats, but the speed does have some extra plastic/vinyl on it to protect rough wear spots for your daily driver.

I daily drive my Sparco Sprints everyday. About 20-30 miles a day and it's pretty comfy. As the others said getting out is kind of a hassle and it sits low.

If you are skinny get recaro, mugen, or bride. If you are "american" sized then get some sparco's. It's all about getting a seat to fit your body type.

I have two SPG Recaros and have had them for over two years. I daily drive them and they are very comfortable.

Hopefully everyone in here with fixed back seats have a roll bar or cage. I don't ever miss the reclining seats.

Riding Sparco Evo's everyday here, and to be honest, it gets a little old. Riding in them is more than fine, as they are very comfortable once IN them.

The problem is getting in and out of them. The rather high bolsters on them really make getting in and out pretty hard, and I'm an athletic 20 year old.

As much as I love the Integra, I cannot wait until I graduate 2 years from now and get a good paying job so that I can buy myself a comfortable daily driver. Girls and/or other people that are not your close guy friends will not enjoy getting in and out of these fixed bucket seats, trust me.

And now that I have lowered my seats to just about on the floor, along with the padded roll bar and ITR spoiler, I have a hell of a time seeing my blind spots and the back of my car period. Something you may want to think about before jumping all in.

But on track and at auto-x's, the seats and harnesses combined are just awesome!

Jon

the sparco speed's are the sparco sprint's. the speeds just offer the vinyl material on the bolster to prevent some wear. oh, they're on backorder so i wouldn't bother looking.

i just recently started DD a buddy club seat and im a small guy so its cool as hell but once already i forgot about it and my *** bone hit right on the bolster, it fuckn sucked.

as some one mentioned above i have short legs so the seat sits close to the stearing wheels and its hard as hell to get in and out, but im getting a detachable steering hub to take care of that

I believe the difference between the sprints and speeds is that the sprints have extra cushion under your knees which make it harder for short ppl like me to comfortably reach the peddles. I'm 5'5 and i'm looking to get the speeds to replace my driver seat due to a tear.
