Have you sat in a car with Sparco Torinos? If you're a bigger guy, watch out.

I had some in my 2K Celica and it was uncomfortable as hell. Maybe it's because I'm 6-2 and 230. Just be sure you can fit because getting those things in was a total *****. The brackets were all wrong (not uncommon for Sparcos) and I had to get my brother-in-law to help me remachine the holes. They looked good but weren't really worth the hassle, especially when they were hard to sit in.

Good luck.

Mike

If you are paying over $100 for them, you are paying too much. Sparcos are for Civics and Eclipses.

You're kidding right? My interior is crap and so are the seats. No support at all! Maybe it's because I don't have the leather interior.

I considered getting sparco\corbeau seats, but I really think you should have some performance mods before you change the seats.

Myktek, you should save for the SC first .

i love the torino seats too, but how much is a good deal?

personally i would save the money and get the TenzoR or some other cheaper knockoff.

alot of times i wish i didn't get side airbags... i have the sparco 4 point harness tho.. it works real nice but i think i would prefer the 5 point instead because the seatbelts keep rising.

is your 4-point harness setup correctly. the shoulder harnesses go staright back to the rear seats

if they dont your looking for some back problems. if you get into an accident with the 4-point harnesses on it will cause very serious back injury.

yeop the shoulder straps go to the rear seats. i used the factory anchors for the rear seatbelts. why would having a 4 point harness cause back injury if i got in an accident?

the correct way to install them is to go straight back to the rear deck so the straps basically make a 90 degree turn. the way you have them is going to cause back problems if you get into an accident because it will pin your shoulders down but leave your midsection without support. this is something you have careful consideration of so that you do not hurt yourself and possibly your passenger.
