Sit in them first, then decide for yourself... But as far a quality, Sparco is well known, then I would say Corbeau, then Tenzo last... You should look at some Recaros too.

i have carreras in my car. they are comfortable, look nice IMO, and are a good value. I've sat in a sparco torino before and that was comfortable too.

Have you looked at any Momo's? I think they are pretty nice for the $$, they are better then Tenzo's.

How is the fabric holding up on your Corbeaus? I was looking at the Carreras as well, but someone said the fabric "pills" easily, and fades in the sun. Any issues with yours? What color do you have?

i have the corbeau carreras...i love them, they feel great and are a great price too....i put seat covers over them during the week so they dont get any stains and dont attract anymore attention i dont need.....and during the weekends i take the covers off....good luck in your decision

a good friend has Corbeau Targa RS's. I like them a lot, and Corbeau has been great. He's broken the passenger seat twice, due to morons gettin in the back seat, and both times, Corbeau has replaced the seat, no questions asked.

Well, i had sparco speeds in my last integra and they were nice but the cloth started to fade in just a few short months....on a side note, i sat in a friends car with the tenzo "srd" seats in black and they were really nice. i was honestly suprised at how well they were made....i am just going to wait a few months to see how they hold up. if they hold up nice, they wil be my next seat.

Recaro's are top quality. Recaro has seats in lots and lots of sick factory rides. Porsche GT (1, 2, and 3), M3 GTR, most of the Rufs......

I had the Corbeau Carreras before and I sold it after I traded in my Si. The fabric was wearing out quite fast. For the money, it's quite nice, but would I buy it again? NO. I've sat in the Sparco Torinos and they have a better fabric than the Carreras. Someone mentioned about the Momo seats. I saw one in person but I didn't know what the exact model it was but it was reclinable and I felt the fabric on it and in my opinion it's not as good as the Torinos. I've also sat in the US Recaro SRDs and they are nice and the fabric is on par with the Torinos. And obvioiously the JDM SRDs are just plain beautiful and the fabric, top notch. That's all on my seats input.

I am looking for seats too. Just looking for a nice seat that would be great for a daily driver.

I have sat in the Recaro SRD's and Trend's, the Corbeau Carrera's and Targa RS's.
The SRD's are a nice seat, hold me well a great seat..

The Trend's were awsome, plus that adj. lumbar support and adj head rest was great.

The Carrera's were silimar to the SRD style, difference to me is that the seat is "deeper" and that the side boltser are a slim frame. It offer a more snug fit.

And the Targa RS seems to a SRD style also just not as refined...

I am looking for input from ppl with the Sparco Torino's.., since I know of no one in OH with them that I can sit and see how I like em.
What are you guys take on them..
I am 6'7" and 180lbs..

Need some info related to the torino's...
Thx
