    Corbeau vs. Sparco

    Im looking to obtain some seats for my car later on this year. Just wondered what peoples experences with these companies has been. Im looking at either a Sparco Milano 2 in suede or some Corbeau A4s or TRSs in leather. I know theres quite a bit of price difference but I wonder if on the sparcos if your paying for the name. Any help would be appreciated!

    with seats, as with almost all safety equipment, you get what you pay for. (except for cobra, they're an anomaly.)

      I havent really looked into cobra. Do you not get what you pay for with them? Or you do?

        I have sat in many sparcos and corbeaus and felt that the sparco is a much better made seat. Sparcos are $$$$$ though.

          cobra is imo one of the better makes on the market. their shells are made of preg carbon/kevlar, come with molded HANS reinforcements, are lighter than the competition, and usually cheaper.

            Corbeaus are for small people.

                I have a Corbeau Forza and it is too wide for me. My friend has a Sparco Speed (I think thats the name) and it fits me very nice! my waist is about 30. I think the Sparco is also more comfortible.
