REVIEW: Sparco Evo Seats

I recently put Sparco Evo seats in and at first I though it was going to suck driving long distances and a pain to get in and out of. Well I drove 300 miles in them today and let me say the lower back support is amazing. My lower back would hurt slightly in the recaros after driving a while, but on the sparcos the lower back area has more cusion and is formed to the lower back shape. Completly comfortable ride.

Getting in and out of them however is a pain as a daily driver, when you wake up in the morning and have to go to work tired its a pain to get in them. Once your in though its a comfortable ride. They sit a little lower in the car then the recaro's which is good if your tall.

The seats are in a fixed position and do not recline back, IMO its a matter of personal preferance, I don't like to have my seat waay leaned back. The angle is good for me, not to far up not leaned all the way back.

Just my review on the sparco evo seats, I was bored and posted it up for anyone that's interested in them.

Sparcos are awsome! i got the fighters, suppos to be the most comfortable from sparco bucket seats. They are comfy for sure, and light!
But not holding you as much as the Evo's.
if you wan't to tilt them more back,put some washers under the seat bracket.
it works great./I got the sliding brackets./

Yeah I got the sliders too. I heard of the washer trick before but as it sits now is just perfect. I don't like to get my lean on hahaha.

I assume you got the regular Evo seats. Not that I was getting anything right now anyway, but I was leaning towards the Evo 2's as they are a little wider. I am not that big, I'm more tall/ slender, but the wider seat just seemed a little more comfortable and still gave good lateral support. Either one is an improvement over the stock Recaros.

I'm glad you like them. I bet it was a substantial weight savings.
