do Sparco seats actually help?
i wanna get sparcos on mah civic ex but iuno if they good or not. they look good and bolster and seat material are good but i heard they r heavier than stock. i wanna either get torinos or leather milanos. can u help me out on dis one? if there r other suggestions such as momo, recaro etc. tell me thx
I Have the Tenzo-R Rally seats and i absolutely love them!
2 reasons i like them is because they are very comfortable and you'll always stay
very flush in your seat and wont flop around..
As far as weight, im not really sure, but i could have swore that when i was picking up the stock seats compared to the Tenzo's, the tenzo seats felt a hell of alot lighter.. But that may have been in my head..
i plan on getting some harnesses soon, so thats a good upgrade for these seats...
Here's a pic of my seats..

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, the Tenzo's are on the money. You can get a set with sliders cheaper than you pay for one Sparco seat. My buddy has some and they are so comfortable, and yes, they are lighter. As soon as I finish all of my custom carbon fiber work on my interior, gonna drop those in to finish it off.

I got sparco Torinos....LOVE THEM!!! Fabric is nice....not too soft that it's gonna rip if you slide your *** to get comfortable....the quick tilt & micro adjust are awesome....my Corbeaus had an adjustment , but not to the extent I can adjust in the Torino....The Milano in SUEDE is friggin unbelievable as well....total class & pimp @ the same time....pm me if you want me to hook u up or want pics of the torinos....
As far as weight....lighter by a few lbs in comparison to the stock....corbeau was the lightest i felt.
Oh yeah, they give upto a 40 or so waist... I am a 36....I am held in place nicely and still very comfortable.

Rep Power: 0 Sorry to be a PW, but I can't say enough good about them.....
Also they really make you feel every nook and cranny on the road....with a good suspension...it'll feel like air...

I had sparco torinos and they were nice. BUT if you are a big person like myself dont get em. im 6' 240 and the sparcos were way too tight.
i sold mine and got si seats instead. if you want sparcos go with the milanos they are wider and a little more comfortable IMO.

you can not compare sparco's and tenzo's lol. sparco's are made way better and they will last longer then tenzo's. sparco's don't just look like a "racing" seat they are racing seats. there like night and day!

Rep Power: 0 i personally like sparcos better BUT for that price i'd take the tenzo R....i believe that they feel just as good as stock seats maybe even better and most are lighter...dosent make too much of a difference but still helps

i have sat in tenzos and sparcos and the quality of sparcos is really obvious. i wouldnt call tenzos 'cheap', in the sense that they are muchb etter than stock in comfort and support, but they dont compare to Momo's, Sparco's or Corbeau in quality.
