your BEST bet is to find a store with them in stock. A few racer shops arround here have them as floor models for people to try out.

Everyones different and whats comfortible to me, might be uncomfortible to you.

also, I have a pretty good line on MOMO seats so if you had seen any of those which you liked let me know.

I just discovered these also while surfing ebay. They are pretty affordable for Sparcos, they also have a new model called Chrono (a little more$) which looks amazing. The model "Steel" makes me wonder about the weight though.:biglaugh: Can we still get Sparco brackets for our cars though?

Yep, as most racing seats aren't adjustable, you really have to sit in them to find what fits.

I'm pretty thin, so I fit quite nicely in seats that most other people would hate...

The model is not indicative of weight. The price on the other hand is for the most part.

Ie steel tube seats (OK Weight) are cheaper than fiberglass (Lighter weight) which are cheaper than the carbon fiber seats. CF are the lightest, around 9lbs per seat, are FIA homologated (which means approved for racing use) and can almost take on a car hitting it directly (2200+ lbs before it deforms). Try that with any other seat ;)
