Seat Opinions

[Ryan]

So, I've been looking at seats and I think I've narrowed it down to two seats that I like.

First is the SPARCO CIRCUIT PRO SEAT. Although I'm not wild and crazy like some of you, I like the 'head restraints' it has.
OG Racing - SPARCO CIRCUIT PRO SEAT - DISCONTINUED FOR 2009Originally $849.00Save $84...

The other one is the SPACRO EVO L
OG Racing - SPARCO EVO L SEAT - Same as the Evo seat, but 1-1/4" (3 cm) wi...

Anyone have any opinions or input on one or the other?

The Evo is a really good all around seat. As long as it is comfortable for you, you can't go wrong there.

If the car will be driven on the street the Circuit is probably not the best option for you. Also, make sure that it wont make getting in and out of the car a problem in the event of an emergency.

Try to sit in them before you order to make sure you are relatively comfortable.

If you decide on a FIA seat, be SURE you don't skimp on mounting it.
I saw a guy beat up in a Miata after a crash in turn 5 at Road Atlanta.
The seat flexed and what should have been a harmless spin resulted in him banging against his Petty bar then the window frame, then the Petty bar, etc.
Worker's saw all the blood in the car and were expecting to have to pick up body parts... driver not car. Turns out all the banging bloodied his nose and lip. He was shaken up, but not seriously hurt. That with a full face helmet.
Fasten it securely!
Also I like the helmet surround, but might be a bit much is a street car.
I use a Kirkey with helmet halo and shoulder supports in the race car.
