Seats Question
I think this is the best place to post this to get the best answers...
I used to have a set of Sparco Torino 2 seats and have recently sold them. They were blue and now i am set on getting red seats.
My question is in regards to non recliners. I am thinking of getting some street non recliners for my car. I do not daily this car and it is technically far away from being considered a street car. I do drive it every now and then.
Other than not being able to recline how comfortable are these type of seats? Would driving an hour or two (if going to an event or to the track) cause any discomfort.
Car isn't a track car but will prob end up there soon if i continue the way i've been going so is there any reason to not get non recliners?
p.s. i prob answered by own question already just looking for opinions and feedback.
Preferably positive.

Having good mounting rails with height/angle adjustment are also key. Once you get the seat installed in a way that's comfortable enough for you overall, you'll find that most fixed-back seats are VERY comfortable. The Recaro SPG I used to have had tons of soft padding. I actually prefer that to just about every reclinable stock seat, factory Recaros included.

As Jid2 said, there are several seats out there that will be comfortable, depends on how you fit them. Personal recommendation after using a a dozen or so seats are the Racetech seats. I have yet to have one person not to say they love them after sitting in them or going on the track with me. Very comfortable, light, FIA approved. I have driven in these seats for 15+ hours driving to track events. If you have any questions on seats in general, you can pm me and I'd be happy to help you out
