does anyone have any experience with the Sparco Speed seats?
or with the Sparco Fighters?
or experience with non-reclinable seats?? how comfy?? how much a PITA, etc.
any comments/suggestions much appreciated
RIP Saint ........ JBO
I wouldn't put either in a street car but you sure can't go wrong with Sparco when it comes to quality!!
The black one looks more stylish to me.
^ Easy doesn't have a back seat.
Personally I like my seats reclined a little more than fixed back seats. I find them a bit uncomfortable, but if I were to get some, and money weren't a factor, it would be Sparco or Recaro.

Buy stuff from CarCustoms Ebay! Won't be disappointed!
i got to sit in Mark aka sevononesix's car with non reclineable Sparcos, and they were surprisingly comfy, but thats one thing im not sure if i can deal with all the time.
i definately wanna go either Sparco, Tenzo, or Recaro, or possibly even Momo.

sparco and recaro , only seats id use
and you can tilt the seat some for a little extra recline
some fixed seats are comfy , and some suck
best is to sit in them and find 1 that fits you good , or find some one that has them in their car and see if they take you for a drive , and see how they like them for daily driving
i personaly would'nt ever take a fixed back seat, my uncle's z28 had some and they wern't to bad if you only had a short drive. but if we were to go cruising all night or for a trip, there is no way i would make it without alot of stops.
imho
fixed back = made for racing.
reclineable back = tuner/daily driver.
i just cant seem to find anything that matches my color scheme in a reclinable seat, unless i wanna pay $800-1000 which i dont wanna do
bahhhh....decisions

My buddy has Corbeau full race seats like those Sparcos in his VR4. I found them a little tight, but he said you can get them in small medium and large, so they actually fit the driver. His are both medium, so they fit him perfectly. Other than being a little cramped, they were perfectly comfortable, actually the recline was pretty decent. Just enough layback that you're not sitting straight up, but if you want to roll like a pimp or a thug, they're not the seats for you.

damn that takes eazy out of the equation.
Corbeau A2.
Look them up, they recline, and they are comfortable as HELL, plus they'll hold you in place.
They come in a couple different colours.

Ouchhhhhhh.
Let the record show that I was in no way targeting Eazy. That was all JerseyKid's idea.
I have a set of MOMO acropolis evolutions in my firebird. Use it as a daily driver and they are acutally pretty confortable. They are fixed back. I've had passengers who have hated them and others who have loved them. Im a smaller guy but my brother is larger and he thinks their alright. I would go with either sparco or momo. You can't go wrong with either of those companies.
Eazy PM me or email me or contact me on aim: streetsidespeed
I can get you seats and prob fairly resonable priced! Carry many different brands!

My bad. I actually meant Big Boi. I was just messing around with it anyway.
Do not go with a fixed seat. I have those first ones u have posted in my srt, and the suck to get in and out of on a daily basis!!!
I have the Sparco Reclinables in my cavalier! Much better!

Cobra fixed backs are super comfy if your say under 5'9" and under 160 lbs.
I wouldn't go fixed back in a daily driver and my personal fav is Sparco Torinos and then Recaro Speeds(which I have in my car).
