Hi

Some guy is selling brand new from Sparco Torino seats for $200 Canadian each. That is more than 1/2 the US price!

I don't really want to loose my seat warmers but are these good seats? Better than standard WRX seats?

Can I just use my normal seat belts?

Thanks for any opinions!

So everybody wants a set!

Are they better than the WRX seats?
Can I run my standard seat belts?
I am not putting a stud in the back seats of my car to anchor a harness, that’s how they work right?
Can some one post the 411 on how these seats mount and how 5 point and 4 point harness mount and if I can use my OEM seat belts (There is a large shoulder molding that might not allow the seat belts to work right). : )
Any body running a set in there WRX? : D

Right now all I know is my girl friend was talking to a guy at her work whos uncle is opening a shop and in order to get Sparco distro approved he has to order $x.xx of Sparco gear so he is trying to just blow out all these seats in one shot.


I will get back to each of you when I get the dirt and the real contact!

They are adjustable is that good or bad?

I am more interested in the Corsa but don't know how they will be in a daily driver!

well i don't hav a rex or torinos but i hav sat in them and i find them comfortable, and as far as race style seats go they r very nice because they are adjustable so u get the support of a race seat with the flexability of your stock seat. i'm pretty sure u can still use yur seat belts with these seats. now i don't know a lot about harnesses but i think the bolt in the floor is wut is usually done, but at vividracing.com they hav a harness bar that fits wrx and wraps around the back of the front seats. it claims to b a bolt on and allows harnesses while not affecting the cars people moving abilities. also if true is a plus that it will stiffen cornering. so my biggest recommendation is find a torino and sit in it, find out how high u'll sit in the car and all of that complies with wut u need.

I just installed a pair of torinos, very easy and fun mod to do. The sparcos are much firmer, but not as comfortable as the stock seats, but it doesn't make much of a difference really, these seats are dope.

ok is that price for one or 2? but either way i'll take em. if he is trying to blow out other sparco stuff lemme know. and as far as the corsas go i would really recomend against them, non-adjutable sets are a beeotch in anything other than a race car
