Default sparco racing seats

http://www.racing-seats-usa.com/941.html

Anyone ever installed these in their car before? Comfortable, userfriendly?

Also, can I use the same brackets that my camaro seats use?
If I buy sparco's brackets, must I get the custom versions, or the universal?

Thanks,
Caleb

Sparco's are cheap feeling, and not to comfortable for daily driving.

They're good for racing. It will keep you in the seat and you *** won't move.

What would you recommend for comfortable seats that are within reasonable price range? I'm wanting to stay below 800 if possible.

I'm just needing to change from the stockers in the camaro to something a little more comfortable because of back problems. (Understandable a sports car is not going to have alot of comfort or the typical answer of, get a different car) However, there are different seats to look at, and that's what I'm trying to research now. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Caleb

How about these?

Then just add some phoam for lumber support?


Also, are the universal mount/sliders worth it? Or what route should I go with that?

Yeah, infact those are the ones I'm buying.

A few people here have than and are more than happy with them.

So as far as mounting them. When it says on that ebay page "Universal Sliders" is it talking about Universal Brackets, or does it specifically mean the slide switch to move the seat forward and back? Sorry for my ignorance upon this situation.

Thanks,
Caleb

I have a pair of torino II's for sale with brackets made for a fbody. PM me if you are interested. They are a few months old and look like new. I'm swapping over to a seat that weighs less to try to get my car's weight down. I never had a problem with the seats and they were always comfortable.

Sparcos are awesome, the seats that you where looking at are good seats but they are the cheapest ones sparco delliver. If you have a look at Sparco Milano or Milano Prestige, they are the best aftermarket seats you can finde! Especialy the Milano Prestige.
