I'm looking at getting either the Corbeau A4 or CR1. I also like the Sparco Torino and Siena. However, the Sparcos are twice as expensive as the Corbeaus! Anyone have experience with both that can provide a qualitative difference to justify the cost differential?

Funny you should ask. I had the same dilemma so I investigated further
and looked at the Ampad 1.1 and the Stine RL.
I found the Ampad1.1 the most cost effective, however I went with
the Stine RL which provided a larger range of options and selections...

 

Ampad? Stine? My google search returned paper supplies and other miscellaneous stuff. I was talking sport seats...what were you talking about?

 

I have the CR1s, they fit me as well as the Recaros in my Evo did, look good in red, and seem about the most cost effective of the aftermarket seats. The bracket for the MINI fit well, though I did tweak it a bit by drilling new mounting holes 1" inboard of the existing ones to better center the seats. Having sat in Sparcos, I cannot really see the justification for paying twice as much for them.

 

Okay, thanks...I decided to spring for some Recaros after all...I'll let everyone know how they turn out in a few weeks...
