Recaros or Sparcos - but the cost for the Torino is too much. Oh well, it can wait until I get some other stuff done. Glad this came up, I was looking at those Ralliart seats and kept thinking way too good to be true, now I know.

i think a couple people bought them, and found out that without a harness, you get no seatbelt. out seatbelt lock in thing is connected to our OEM seats, so just swapping it out will leave you with no seatbelt.

Hey, not to change anyones mind, but if you guys want cheap good seats liten up....
Recaro, we all know them, right? LOL....
Ok, Arospeed just released their newest GT racing seats. Guess who was contracted to design them, that right, Recaro. I believe in fact they are rebadged Recaro Speeds. Dont take my word for it, check out Scott Oldhams editorial in Septembers Sport Compact Car. Im looking into buying a set, and Ive seen the set for around 750-800. Not bad for "Recaros," and they are more real than most of the Recaros you will see on EBAY.

Thats cool...don't like the knockoffs though. While we're on the subject, think we could get a group buy on some Recaros or Corbeaus (preferably the latter)?

If you guys are looking for some nice Recaro/Sparco Torino knockoffs, I hear that Arospeed makes some nice seats that are actually Recaros, only with the Arospeed name on them. I think they run around $550 for a pair.

And for anyone who cares to know, racing harnesses are not recommended on cars without roll bars/cages, since they do not allow enough movement to get the head out of the way of a collapsing roof. Minimal risk, but just in case.
