Anyone have any experience with Sparco seats?

I'm planning to pick up some new seats and am looking for input. I have found a deal on the Sparco Torino. I have also found a deal on a "knock-off" Torino seat.

The knock-offs seats are far cheaper (2 seats for less than the price of 1 Sparco), but there are obvious differences. Mainly the reclining mechanism.

I'd really prefer to pick up the true Sparco Torino seat. Does anyone have any input regarding their quality/durability?

Thanx.

 

I sure don't I still have the ol Camaro seat with the tears What seats I really enjoy and like the comfort is Mike's seats those things are nice.. They have a lot of cushion and there all nice and broken in and comfortable.. I have all the leather to have mine done but I call and get prices and they want like 900 bucks at most places..

 

Here's some pics of the "knock-off" seats:

Feel free to offer opinions.

 

Did you ever get those Sparco seats? How do you like them?

I picked up one for now. I'll get the second for the passenger side a little later on.

The seat is great and holds you more solid in the car. I also installed a set of Schroth harnesses.

 

Did those harnesses come with an "anti submarine belt," did you install it, and will you use it? When my brother told me about the antisubmarine belt he was required to wear in SCCA competition, I figured requiring every man to use one would be a great insentive to safer driving!

 

These belts do not have an anti-submarine strap, BUT they are designed with anti-submarine features. These are also the only DOT approved safety harnesses.

 

Looks good Is there any height difference between the stock seat's headrest and the the Sparcos? For me, I would like the top of the seat a bit higher then the stocks non-gta seats can do.

 

Yes, the headrest onthe Sparco is higher than the factory seat. I'm around 6'2" and I can actually rest my head against the rest while driving with Sparco seat. I couldn't do that with the stock GTA seat.

 

Sounds good.
