Talking Racing seats (Corbeau, MOMO,ect.)

Where can I get the best deal on some racing/show seats online. I thought maybe one of you guys might have a hook-up.

Can you be more specific on the seat your looking for, I have dozens of pages, but seat pricing varies on each type pf seat, some places have better deals on Sparco's but their Recaros are rediculous, and vice versa. I have Sparco Torinos in my car.

Wow Madkilla, those seats look nice. Are they adequate for trips?? How about wear? good or bad?

Can you e-mail me or post a price on some Black/Grey Torino's ??

Thanks

I have carrera's and love them. They could be made out of a little better material though.

I got a bunch of pics in my sig.

Thanks, and sure, I will post the websites when i get home. Black and grey Torinos look AWESOME, my friend has them in his Stang, I was going to get them but I got tired of Dark interior. Right now there are a few distributors selling custom color torinos, I will send you those too. One distibutor is offering them in Red and Black color combo I was looking for 2 years ago ( I think I will sell mine and pick those up).

In terms of wear they hold up great, the rubber wear guards do their job well. They are incredibly comfortable, incredibly grippy. They only drawback is getting in and out of the car is now a task for a gymnast. Make sure you also don't have velcro pockets because the stick to the fabric and pulls them fuzzy. They are so much better than the stock seats, its hard to describe, once you sit in them you'll understand, they make the stock seats in my SS feel like a wood parkbench. If yourover 200 lbs, or built wide I would recommend going to the Sparco Milano, they have slightly wider dimensions, and are a bit better for a touring seat, daily driver car. Those are what I will put in my SS, just for a bit more comfort. I'm a wide 5'10 230 lb guy, and I just fit in the torinos.

how much did those seats cost? i've been looking for good seats (i want them to be very comfy, and also safe for racing) for awhile now...i've found sparco seats for $880 a peice and i've seen recaro seats (lol, on ebay) for like $250. i don't have the cash to spend $1760 on seats plus brackets so if anybody has any pointers to where i can get them a little cheaper, i'd REALLY appreciate it.

Thats about what you can plan to spend on some Sparcos, mine were $699 a piece, they've dropped a bit since then, you can get them for $600 a piece now, maybe less. Corbeau is the best bet for the price wary shopper, they are a great seat for the money, I know several people that have them. Here is the webpages for Sparcos and Recaros, I have lost a few. By the way, my seat brakets are the stock brakets. The mounting points are the same distance left to right, but a little closer together, I just drilled new holes, I lost about 4 inches of travel on the passenger seat, so pick the best position for them before you use the stock brackets again, drivers seats lost nothing. Non power seats is what I originally had by the way.

These are all just for Sparcos, you can find other seats on the pages. Go pick up some import magazine like Sport Compact Car or something, they have advertisements filled with some nice looking inexpensive seats.

I have the TargaRS(TRS) and they are really nice. They are comfortable and hold you well. You could also look at the Carreras. They're only about $400 each, give or take a few.
