Sparco VS. Generic Sport Seats I want to get Sport Bucket seats for my car. The specific design that interests me are the Sparco Torino seats. However through much searching I cannot find a pair of these any cheaper than about $500 - $600 per seat. I have found a generic one (name wasnot listed) in a magazine ad that had the exact design as Sparco Torinos. The only differences was that there were no holes in the upper part of the seat for the seat belts. And these other seats were retailing for $300.00 per seat. That's a big difference. How much of this you all think is because of the name. And how much of it is quality. I mean, I really don't care of the fabric comes apart after a couple years. But at least if the seat quality (parts) are ok is what I am worried about.
Can I get some opinions here. And if you own non-Torino seats that look like them and have something to say, please let me know about them.
Thanks guys!

I got my Tenzo Rally seats, sliders, and brackets for $580 shipped. They look like the Torinos.
i got OEM celica seats (made by recaro for toyota) for $150 used with sliders 
they're better quality than any cheap racing seats. the sparcos usually come with better material and better foam inside the seats.

Rep Power: 0 Have you looked at the momo rally seats. I sat in almost every racing out there, and I like the momo thes best. I have the momo box seat, and even they are comfortable has he!!. Check out momo, but the are alittle bit more expensive. I got my seat, sliders, mounts and bracket for $400, I'm pretty sure I get the whole this for around 5 bills.
IMO if you can, go to a local shop and sit in the seats the have there. I personally think Sparco Torinos are awesome and worth the money if I hadn't gotten such a good deal on the Celica OEM's.
