My kingdom for some Sparco seats, LOL

Just curious why evo guys (myself included) don't get Sparco's. In my Honda days it was those or the Recaro SRD's. I wanted Bride Cuga's but I'm having such a hard time selling my Bride Brix II's that I think I'm just going to buy some Blue Sparco Torino 2's and let the Brides sit until I can't take it anymore or someone actually gives me whats fair for them.

So whycome no evo owners run Sparco? Quality is awesome. Price is really good compared to Bride and Recaro's

I think its cause, most evo guys just leave the stock seats in, as they are pretty sturdy and hold you in. A lot of the guys that do get racing seats, are for the jdm scene, so they run the brides. Not saying they arent a badass seat. I myself have looked into the torinos. A buddy has them in his 2g gst. They are very nice and comfortable. I have also noticed a member on here running the carbon backed NRG seats. Those can be had for 950 shipped. Non-reclineable though.

1.) Most owners probably like the factory seats (especially the 9s).
2.) Sparco and other mfg are just too expensive for a car that is highway driven.
3.) Selling odd colors is harder to sell than a standard black seat.

Cool. I traded out my OEM recaros for the Bride's I have now straight up.....thats the only reason why I ended up with them.....but they are a little uncomfortable for me after a few hours since I'm over 6 foot.

I'll check those links out. Appreciate it.
