Default Sparco Sprints? Happy?

Ive found a nice price for a pair of new Sparco Sprints! Just want to know from the HT peeps (those that have Sprints or similar);

Are you happy with your seats?

How long does the fabric last for?

Are they ok for a daily driver?

Any regrets?

Any pics?

Thanks guys

I'm on my 4th set. Absolutely love them. I drive in them everyday, and the fabric is pretty good. My older red ones faded a tad after a year of use on the driver's side left shoulder, and one of my black ones is tearing a tad after years of usage getting in and out really fast all the time. And my helmet wore off the sparco logo after a few years of usage on one seat as well. Great seats and awesome bang for the buck

I'm on my 2nd set. The colored Sprints fade (my red ones are starting to look pink), but if you spray some 3M fabric protectant, color should last longer. My first set was black and those still looked good when I swapped in the red ones. Might take awhile for you to get used to because it's a fixed racing seat.

the sprints are a good bang for your buck seats. they are your entry level fixed back racing seat. however, they are a steel-based frame and that causes the foam to sag a little.
i upgraded today to the sparco evo, a fiberglass shell, and it is far better. i understand why i sold both my seats for one EVO. lol.
