Finally Got Both My Sparco Seats Installed :-)

Sparco Fighter Install!!!

A good car needs a set of amazing seats. The stock mustang seats just could not cut it, So after much research and looking at pictures and sitting in different seats in person, I went ahead and Picked the "Sparco Fighter" bucket seat as my choice. I picked the bucket since I am a smaller guy my body is supported by the bucket seats.

I bought 1 Sparco a while back that a store had in stock, but the passenger seat was on a 25 week back order!! I had to wait the 25 weeks, but it finally arrived.

I have driven 400+ miles trips in these seats and they feel great. Very supportive in the back and position you perfect for driving. A High quality seat makes a work of difference.

Sparco Fighter Bucket Seats in Black.
Sparco Quick Release Harnesses
Sparco Mounting Brackets
Sparco Sliders and Hardware kit

Fresh in the packaging!!!

Sprayed 2 Coats of Chemical Guys Fabric Guard to ensure the seat stays looking great and doesnt fade!!!

In The Car!!!

Did they lower your static sitting position any? Looks great!

If I ever get a set of aftermarket seats in my car, they'll be black leater corbeau's that can recline. I'm not a big fan of those handz

BTW, a very nice subtle improvement on your interior would be some MGW products. I have the tilt steering handle, the turn signal arm cap, and the e-brake handle and it makes the car look and feel more high end

You need a harness bar badly....looks great though

They look nice, but no way would I DD in a non adjustable seat. The only way I would have one is if it was an aluminum Kirkey that I just used at the track.

But those do look nice.

I must say this, DD Sparco Fixed back seats is MUCH more comfortable than the stockers. much more supportive.

I see no reason to have adjustable seats cause i never move them anyways. I always hated when someone would move my seat.

Can’t say I’m a fan. Appropriate seats for a race car, but I'm with the others on not digging them for a DD. They look a little to "poser".....a little too Fast and the Furious IMO.....but again, that's just my opinion.

I think the fact that you claim to never change driving positions is a little irrelevant, having adjustable seats in a street car are a must. Even if it's just to bring them forward to let someone in the back, reach a quarter that fell out of your pocket or have the ability to recline them for a parking lot BJ from one of those trannies you’re so fond of?

i dig em

SRT Handz · Oct 19, 2011

Many newer performance cars (Porsche 911, BMW M3, Lotus, Ford GT) are being equipped with fixed back seats.

I love these seats. The seats are on sliders and can be moved, But i have no intention to move the seats out of my position lol.

For the record, No car should have seats that recline lol

Night Shifter · Oct 19, 2011

Im a straight back seat driver too lol....mine never moves from that position either....the recaros in my evolution were just as comfortable on a 10 hour road trip as the stock seats in my mustang

Stumbaugh · Oct 19, 2011

I like to lean back when I'm just cruising. But at the track, I have to be seated straight up.

mazen189 · Oct 19, 2011

what if some girl wanted to blow you......THEN, you'd probably wanna recline your seat. lol. Nice improvement though, and congrats on the KB. Very clean install.

There is always a way....

I have a sparco Jr somewhere that is a very comfy sit. But I'm not sure I could use it in a DD. Sparco's do feel amazing though.

Wanted to toss another option or two out there for the guys wanting the seat to recline/have more padding.

Two things - we just finished our line of 94-98 & 99-04 GT Coupe and Vert seats - they'll be hitting the market within a month. Next on the agenda is the 01 Bullitt & Cobra , the 03-04 Mach & Cobra. We've already finished the molds on these foams and a few of the patterns. We're currently sourcing the needed materials. But point being - soon enough, anyone w/a stock GT seat can easily turn it into the much more supportive upgraded seats i just listed. We'll all also be offering a version of the stock GT pattern that has been altered to fit over Cobra Foam!! (stoked about that one!)

In the meantime, we also offer our Sport Seat R line for the Fox seat - basically, if you have any 1984-89 Fox GT seat - you can turn it into this - with just new foams and upholstery - all in all costing you less than half of those four point aftermarkets ....and.... they RECLINE.
Dun Dun DUnnnn

I hate seats that recline. They make me feel like i am sitting on a sofa.

Performance cars need performance seats.... and reclining seats just dont perform.
