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.

i ran torinos in my crx. They are one of the best seats ive ever sat in. Comfy with adjustable back and they hold you in nice. I'd go with those.

Get the STI, I have a silver WRX, do they come in solid black? I've only seen black and blue. Compared to any other stock seats I've had the WRX are best.

This is exactly what I would like to know. Also, do the STi seats bolt right in? From what I've heard the Sparcos aren't so easy to install.
