Sparco R505 Seats - Lateral-g Forums

**NorCal72** · #1 05-20-2013, 01:29 PM

Looking for some feedback on these. So far these look like my first choice. They seem like a good compromise between decent looks and good lateral support. Wondering if anyone is running them and what they think of them. I would consider other options in the same price range. I will be running 4 point belts. Thanks

What is that price range? I cant seem to find a consistent price for those.

Any chance you might be interested in stepping up a little to a set of the R700A Alcantara seats?

I have a brand new set (actually, I own 3 of them) that it appears I'm going to sell for something which fits me better... PM if you have an interest and want more info. A few of the Lat-G guys got to see them this weekend, so they can attest to them also.

I run custom wrapped 505's in Three of my cars and love them to death.... I'm a pretty big guys so you have to watch the size you buy (or so I was told by the shop that orders them for me) as the base can be tight pending you size (I'm 5'11" at roughly 255lbs)...

The hardware on them is plastic and sucks frankly,,,, but the seat it self is so dam comfortable and holds you right in place... ^5 to the 505's I wouldn't hesitate buying another set...

Recaro also does some really good seats and you may want to look into there counter part offering as I'm pretty sure they'd have something in the price point too....

It says they are for taller people, Im 5'8''. What is your build? I have a really wide upper body. What are you looking to get for the pair? Im thinking they may be a little out of my range. What makes these any better than the 505's?
Thanks
