There was some sparco I sat in that is very similar but I forgot the name, I'll pos that later when I visit my friends shop.
Speaking of legal... Which seats have Cert. tags on them?

Well compared to almost 2000$ for a pair of Bride's and rails it's pretty cheap.... I guess.

i just picked one of those up last weekend and so far, i'm very happy with it (although i'm still waiting on the brackets, but in the mean time it works great for watching TV in ). also, going back to the earlier concern of some of these seats being "too expensive", i'd reccomend just picking one up if you want it for it's true purpose and are pushed for money. it may look nice to have 2 matching aftermarket seats, but i think you'd be much happier if you spent a little more one 1 seat that's actually nice and will do it's job a little better than some knock-off's with no support (not that all of them are that way, i did have some corbeau A4's in my old car and they were pretty nice). good luck with your choice though.

I have one Sparco Sprint. Its a bitch to get in and out of but after you're in, its very comfortable IMO and holds me well (I wish I had a g right now, sparco seat will have to do). The material in the ass area is folded because of repeated use but this doesn't afftect anything but the looks of the seat when you're not sitting in it. Its also reasonably priced which is another plus.

It really isnt hype. I don't own one but I know quite a few people that do.

I thought it was just hype, and I bought a corbeau. Then I got to sit in a few Bride seats and found out you really get what you pay for with a Bride seat.

Too bad i'm too fat to fit in one properly(shoulders are too narrow, and so's the butt).

Sparco EVO for me and Corbeau for sale.

What do you guys think of the sparco milanos.
$900 on their site.
I have been offered 4 seats for $1200. So I would use 2 and resell the others.
Thanks

Buy all 4 of em and resell all of them. Use the profit you made to buy a recaro speed or brix. I think the bolstering on the milano's is pretty weak.

Sparco Prodrive is another fantastic seat. Similar in size to the Buddy Club, so for the slimmer, but the ProDrive is for a bit bigger people. Has more padding than the buddy club and more rigid. If I had the money I would buy one, but Buddy Clubs are cheap.

It is FIA approved, don't think they make them anymore.

I would personally probably like Bride more if it wasnt so flamboyant and name brandish. They are "designer" seats...hah. I have no doubt the quality and fitment is supurb, but I cant afford it and if I could I wouldnt be stoked on having "Bride" on my seat in 15 places

I figure I might as well ask this here. How small is the Buddy Club seat? I need something to replace my POS Sparco Speed, and the price is right. The BCs looked nice in person at JGTC, too, but the way they had them mounted meant they weren't possible to sit in. Does anyone think it'll be possible for a 36" waist to fit? I was able to fit into a Bride (I think it was a Zeta III) and was quite comfortable, it was a tight fit but I actually like that with a seat, are the Buddy Club seats different in size? Additionally, what brackets are to be used with the BC seats?

I was curious about the Buddy Club seat too. The guy let me pick it up and I wanted to buy it from just that alone! 11lbs versus a 40lb stock seat!?!?! ...the only thing holding me back is my 34" waist. Anyone sit in it my size? Damn, I need to test one of these.

Another thing, does anyone have any recommendations for a full bucket in the sub-Bride range? I'm not talking cheap stuff, more like the $5-600 range that Sparco buckets fall into.

The fighters are pretty nice, although I'd take a Pro2000 over one. It's the same seat shell, the Fighter is just drilled for a bottom mount and has a different fabric "skin". Personally, I really want to get a Pro and put a Fighter "skin" on one. (for the more durable fabric, and the anti-rip inserts)

I have the buddy club and its a perfect fit at 30-32" waist. I really like the support but it's not the most comfortable seat ever. I've driven around in my friend's Fighter and I like the cushion and comfort of it, didn't feel like it held me in one place as well but the kidney pads are really cool.

I payed something like 200 for mine used, although mine had not a single scratch on it compared to my friends, who bought his new from importfan and came messed up. You can use Bride rails with it. They are something like 300 new.

I have a Bride Ergo. Hands down the best seat I've ever sat in.

However if I could have found low sitting rails for a Recaro I would have went with that.
