Ok, so Im thinking about getting a new steering wheel, and a set of racing seats sometime in the summer. How do you put that stuff on?

When you want to install them just let me know. Not that difficult.

when you order a steering wheel it usually doesn't come with the hub addapter.

So you'll have to order that seperately. about $35-$50 extra.

Depending on which seats you order you might have to buy Seat Rails.

My Sparco Fully adjustable Rails were an extra $150ea. But well worth it IMO.

I just found this post wandering around and I was wondering why a new steering wheel? I would rather have the air bag IMO. No matter how good of a driver you are there are still stupid people out there.

And thats true. But it's also true that airbags can fuck you up too by going off. Thats not my reason for replacing it, it's simply cuz I want a different look.

And those were the most comfortable aftermarket seats I have ever sat in. I'd highly recommend those! :3gears:

Hey speaking of seats, what do you guys think the most comfortable ones are? I have way bad lower back problems so I need good lumbar support. Thanks for any info you can toss out.

There are more than one type of Sparco seats. There are several they make. There is a sport compact magazine a while back with a seat guide. How big you are plays a role in which seat is comfortable.

All the sparcos will not be comfy dude, I'm Not looking for a full all out rock hard and light race seat which would be very painful for me for a road trip, I want something that I can replace my stock seats with because with my injuries they have very poor lower back support. On the other note i'll look into SC article thanx
Any other insights would be cool, and what kind of sparcos does he have?

Even the non adjustable seats are comfy imo "dude". Maybe not for sleeping in, but that's what a bed is for. They are sparco torinos brian has I believe. There are no all out race seat sparco's except maybe the Evo series ones which are more rally oriented. There whole line is all pretty mild for "race" seats imho so they are made to be comfortable. There are no "race" seats that have lower back support, put a pillow there if you want lower back support or stop sittin like a wanna be thug and you will have proper back support. :bowdown" Just my .02
