Just found that Corbeau do an almost exact equivelant to the SParco Evo 2 I was looking at nd price wise there is nothing in it :

Sparce Evo 2 :

Corbeau Sprint :

Be silly not to try the Corbeau as they are 5 mins up the road.

me too..dimensions are so similar, so sitting in a corbeau will give a good indication to me of fit/feel. I don't expect the corbeau quality to be as good.

Hand made in Hastings or Hand made in Italy ??? tuff choice ???

They are both FIA approved though, so safety wise quality must be similar.

Been looking for seats for a while, and the STi 8 seats I fitted just didn't work for me in the scoob as they sat too high and did not hold aswell as the classic seat.
So thought I would either go for STi V or P1 seats or ditch Subaru seats and go for Sparco or Recaro.

Or these

the Recaro recliner above works out similar money to the shell seats if you go for a standard black velour trim, so may go for these.
£163 extra though for black leather & Blue suede combinations.

This would be nice but need to get a quote to match the rear bench.

If I go for pure black I can probably pick up a rear WRX seat in black as I beleive the WRX 01> was black...eh Rich !!!!!

Jim is not in that much now but see him from time to time.Richard who worked there years ago is back there now and thats who i deal with.

How about these Scott and have them trimmed in what you want.Corbeau Targa you could also ask Richard if they can do the rears to match ??

spooky...........ok anyway,ordered new sparco bucket seats from deamon tweeks,they sent all the wrong runners,sent them back after a phone call,they sent them back again(the same ones)i sent them back,they sent corbeau ones back now very not happy i spkoe to the gm and got it sorted after much effort.and very little appologies
months later i order another bucket seat for mine as they now do a custom frame for a blobeye,and guess what they send me a recliner!!!!!!!!i contact them asking what the hells going on in their company,to be told its what you ordered!!!!
allthough when i showed them a copy of the invoice they had sent,it showed i had payed for a bucket,and was sent a recliner costing £60 more(they were lucky i didnt like it)so its now gone back and i wont be doing any buissness with them again lol.
i cant stand it when someone makes a mistake and just cant face up to it,all they had to say was ok we screwed up now lets put it right!
good luck getting your seats,dut avoid deamon tweeks lol(sounds like an advert lol)

I know what you mean, if someone gets something wrong they should speak up and appologise, with the trouble you had i would of expected a little discount also.

As far as your postthat disapeared, i am afraid there is no sign of it.
Please keep me informed if you have any more problems with post disapearing.
