Default Sparco Torino Seats in a TA

Has anyone done this model seat? It's going in a 02 TA. Can the stock sliders be used? Any insight please. I searched and there was a thousand threads of nothing!

when i ordered these corbeaus the salesman told me they were rebadged sparco torinos with different harness slider openings.Never compared the two so i dont know exact they are. Anyway, same exact seat just under the corbeau name. Awesome fit! Not too wide like many many seats out there. Never got to ride in the car with them though becuase the day after these photos were taken, with just the passenger seat in, the car was stolen. I can tell you for sure you cant use stock sliders. I mean you can use them, but you wont want to. I custom mounted my new seats onto the factory sliders and my head went through the roof. The sparco/corbeau sliders sit the seat comfortably low. Buy the seats, and the sliders!





sorry for the crappy pics- i took them during the middle of install and i never got the chance to take better ones. I still have one seat in my room lol next to one stock TA seat. They were also sun faded cause i left them next to a window for 4 months.

Corbeau Carrera's are basically the same thing as the Sparco Torino's, but a lot less money. Definitely get the sliders from Corbeau. The red one's look real nice in a WS6 LT1 T/A
