Hey all,

Ok, I have a set of sparco milano's that I received as a Christmas gift from the gf. I really like the seats but one of my buddies has a set of sparco roadsters and wants to trade me the seats plus $1000 for mine. I have the black alcantra milanos and his are black jacquard. Im really torn because i've always been a fan of the roadsters but don't know if they would look right in the c70. I know the first thing im gonna hear is how to get in the back seat but sparco makes the kit where the seats flip forward so I have that covered. What does everyone think? Should I stick with what I have or go for the roadsters and use the extra funds towards the car?

as usual opinions welcome,

Matt

I've used both man, and I can tell you that on a street driven car adjustable is the ONLY way to go.

PM me some pictures once they're in either way. Never seen aftermarket seats in a volvo. Hell anyone send me some.

Yeah I agree adjustable

Yeah I agree adjustable

Yup, the fixed seats sound cool because they are a lot cheaper, stronger, lighter, and safer, but after about a week of driving in them on the street you are going to want to throw them off of a cliff.

Hey all,

Im still torn. I usually drive very upright and i've owned a car with non-adjustables(older probe gt, dont make too much fun of me!). I personally like the non-adjustable but at the same time im trying to take into consideration the passengers and the girlfriend might not like the non-adjustable as she won't be able to sleep when she is bored at one of our meets, lol. Still deciding, but either way im going in soon to have the brackets made and will take pics when its complete.

well ken855 has a non adjustable sparco i think and he's been fine with it....
the long trips haven't effected him i don't think

Yeah I agree adjustable

I'd say go for the adjustable ones, probably more logical to have those in the car.
