Does anyone have racing seats? If so where did you buy them from? I was looking at some Sparcos. Thank You for your help!

I'd suggest finding a place near you where you can actually sit in the seats before you buy, to ensure you get seats that fit you best.

One question to the knowledgeable: Anyone know if the Recaro SRDs sit any lower than the GS-R seats?

I got a pair of blk/gray Tenzo R Rally-2 seat (Torino look alike) on ebay brand new about a month ago. I think a paid around $380 or so with free shipping. But then I went to a site to buy the brackets which were $75 for a pair.

The seats were sent through Fedex from the east coast, took about a week to get them and like 2 hours to install.

I like them, they look great in my silver Integ.

Sure beats the price of ONE Real Sparco Torino seat that cost $500
