JMO, but I think the C4 seats (any year, any style) are awesome, and they do the job just fine, but I have sport seats in mine, and I love them, I just don't see the reason in Sparco's, again, just my own opinion.

I agree with liking the C4 seats. My only problem is, I am too tall to wear a helmet and sit comfotably in the stock seats.

First of all, a pair of Sparco seats is probably worth 80 - 100 lbs over the stock sport seats. That's a tenth for all you drag racers out there. Secondly, it is very difficult to get a tight fit with 5-pt harnesses using the stock seats. The Sparco's allow for the harnesses to fit right over your shoulders, below your crotch and around your hips. If you are a road racer this will make a huge difference.
I will be replacing my sports seats in the next year or so with a pair of Sparco Evo's, so would like to see some pics from those of you who have already made the switch.

Sit in a pair if you haven't already. They are usually smaller in width than vette seats. I used to fit in them before I took up body building. LOL.

I'd love to have a racing seat, but this is my daily driver and it would be a bitch to get in out with racing seats. :chevy

YES TO RACING SEATS!
I've got sport seats, yes they're nice (for daily drivers) and any C4 seat is nice too. But, when you have about 200,000 miles on your seats, the cost to replace the foam and leather is a rip-off! Not to mention the labor to have them re-done. (and most of the bladders and extras don't work anymore either)
I'm getting ready to replace my worn sport seats with a nice set of racing seats for less than the price of just the C4 leather skins.
Leather skins cost around $700-$800, while a nice set of racing seats (reclinable) can be bought for around $500
Sparcos are nice, I might be looking for a pair of CORBEAUs (Black with 5-point harness) There's a lot of racing seats on Flea Bay, might have to order me a set...
