Default Sparco Roadster vs Roadster 2 ... discontinued?

So I've been looking for seats and the roadster is one of the few that fits in our cars.. but I've found both the roadster and roadster 2. The 2 doesnt seem to avaliable many places and I just recently read from one site that it was discontinued in favor of returning to the original!

Anyone know why this is? Anyone know the DIFFERENCE between the two?

I was looking last week and found some Roadster 2's still around. Google them.

I searched long and hard for my roadster II's they are going away and are becoming less and less easy to find so if you want a set I would jump all over it.

Yeah, like Andy said, getting harder to find. I've seen both and find the materials of the Roadster II to be much nicer. I think the shell of the Roadster I and II are pretty much identical though.

Awesome seats!

Yeah I've seen that they are increasingly difficult to find in stock... the only local dealer around here has gone back to Roadsters, and many online retailers are running out.

The only difference I can seem to find is the black/blue color combo, which the regular roadster does not appear to have.

Is there anyone around the forum who has these in blue? I've seen the Red (thanks Andy) but I dont think I've ever seen the blue.
