Seats - STI or Sparco??
I am looking getting some new seats for my Blue WRX. I am trying to pick between STI front & rear seats and Sparco Torino front seats then I would get my back seats covered in the same black fabric. I don't know how good the STI seats are compared to the Sparco seats. I want a great race seat but I am worried that the STI seats are more for comfort and not race compared to the Sparco Torino. Please give me your input on this and let me know what you like best.

So are the STI front seats more for comfort then the Sparco or are they just as much for racing as the Sparco seats are? I know that the Sparco seats are great for racing they really keep you in the seat with out slinging you from side to side on sharp turns but I have never sat in the STI seats. How do they feel? Do they keep you in the seat on sharp turn? The performance of the seats in hard cornering will be my deciding factor. I like the look of the STI seats but I want the seats to work great and not just look good.

the sti's look better and may be a good compomise between comfort and performance. but, the sparcos may be safer, since they have dual seatback locks, I'm not sure if the sti's have dual locking mechanisms. The dual locks are safer if the unthinkable may occure. also if you run racing or sport harnesses and or an aftermarket wheel I would trust the sparco's.
