Default Still deciding on Seats: Recaro Speed or Sparco Milano?

I sat in both & they are both very comforatble & supportive. I can get the Sparcos for $1500/pair and the Recaros for $1000/pair with brackets & sliders.

I like the way the Sparco's look but the Recaro's look like they'd hold you in alot better!

Why can't they integrate side airbags?

Default Secret...

My brother-in-law is a mechanic(Toyota Certified) that does jobs for some auto parts distibutors and he gets some really good prices. He also get 30% off TRD stuff. He's from Cali and is building a drift car

I was thinking about getting a Supra or an IS300 with a Supra swap

Default It would make them a hell lot more expensive, transportation etc...

But I'm sure that the main reason is liability concerns.

Anyway most seat airbags systems are designed specifically for the car that they are fitted it (window frames etc.)

Default I had the Milano's in my B5, very nice seat...

I blacked out the Sparco script which made them look more discrete...

But you could not go wrong with Recaro's...

If you are getting a pair at those prices that is a bargain...Make sure you get the seat rails...
