Racing Seats

I've been checking into Sparco, Corbeau, Cobra and Caravaggio - any comments on fit finish, street comfort, best price to performance ratio. I love the Caravaggio adjustable seats, but the price(!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I wish. They look supportive yet somewhat refined enough for the street. I was playing 007 double agent hoping someone would chime in that actually has the Siena's. I myself have been in the market for seats and have had my eye on these.

Download the catalog PDF, it has pricing for all their stuff. A bit $$ but really nice stuff.

How do you get the lap belt into the proper position with those seats? Looks like the lap belt has to straddle over the sides, but wouldn't be snug on your hips and waist.
Good looking seat, but looks more suited to racing harnesses passing through the access holes.

I can't imagine that these would fit in the Vette. Very few seats fit (adjustable-back seats, anyway). But if they DO fit, they'd be cool!

Thanks, guys

Those are some nice seats, but I may have to wait for next years tax return

The Caravaggio's would never fit my back(chest size 50-52). I had a custom race seat made to my measurements. Also it sits lower in the car.

The Corbeau's are good for most people.
