hi all im looking to buy some new bucket seats and im kind of stuck on what to get, Im sick of the fake recaros that came with the car. Im abit over the recaro and bride seats since they are everywhere, but i noticed these sparco seats and i think they look really good.
http://www.reallymea...d-seats.121259/

I just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with sparco seats or know if they are good. also if there are any other seats you could think of let me know as im open to ideas :)
thanks fellas

Maybe HSG RVR recaro fronts. My driver's side is a Nissan gt recaro with the RVR inserts swapped into it.
Cheers !

Rather the buying by brand, try sitting in some before you blow your money.

Where would i be able to sit in the seats? ive sat in a few recaros and they are nice and brides feel good too (maybe better) but dont know anyone with sparco seats so dont know what they are like.

Rather the purchasing by product, try seated in some before you may totally strike your cash. . . .

I have a set of evo x recaros , there very good to sit in , Im very tempted to fit them up in my evo 2

you could do very long trips in them and they will hold you on every corner like any race seat

but Sparcos would be the next ones I would check out though

I can vouch for their fitment and comfort.
Would strongly recommend going Evo6 seats (Front + back).

Depends on whether you prefer red...or...blue?
Do you have anything else in the interior in either of those colours?

i dont really have anything blue or silver in the car which makes it a tough choice, i guess ill just leave it too which is cheaper easier to get and in the best condition
