Anyone have any installed in their car?

Just curious how they fit/feel and how they are for long(er) drives.

Thanks!

 

Got links to pics of any of those cars? Well I've seen the Nismo, just not the other two.

 

I had beige alcantara Sparco Milano seats in my Audi A4. They were great for the track, but not so great for long distance drives.

The Sparco seats are very well made, excellent materials and craftsmanship.

My guess is the Z seats will be good enough for me at the track. If not, I'll replace them with black alcantara Sparco Milanos.

How were they on say 8 or 9 hour drives?

 

I want the sparco leather seats but they are like 1400.00 each OUCH!!!

 

Does anybody know if when removing seats that have side airbags confuse the airbag system? Would it disable anything or affect the side curtain airbags?

Is it safe to assume that everything would operate as usual?

 

Farthest I ever drove was Houston to Fort Worth, about 5 hours. That was as far as I would want to go. Maybe if I was not such a fat-***, it would not have been so bad! I'm 6'3" and weigh 240 with a 38" waist, so I take up ALL the seat.

Actually, the seat back is very comfortable, lots of support in all the right places. My problem was the bottom seat bolsters would press into the sides of my thighs.

You can take the covers off the bottom seat cushion and widen the bolsters... I was just too lazy.

Hope that helps.

If the airbags are in the seats, then you will need to put a capacitor on the plug to make the airbag system think the airbags are connected. The capacitor will have to have the same resistance as the airbags in the seats.

For my Audi A4 I had Sensible Solutions (www.airbagonandoff.com) make resistors for me that I could plug into the connectors. I paid $25 for a pair.

If you do not add the capacitor, you will have an Air Bag warning light on the dash. It will stay on forever, or until you clear the code from the ECU and re-attach the seats airbags.

As for disabling the curtain or front airbgas... I have heard "Yes it disables the whole airbag system" and "No it has no effect on the airbag system" so I don't have a good answer for that one.


Hope that helps.

Well I'm right around 6', 225lbs, 35ish waist. Not a fatass, but not a small guy (size 58 jacket); I used to powerlift, so I have that really blocky build hehe.

I don't mind the thigh preassure if I can widen it.. Hrm. I may just do leather Sparco's.

 

I had Sparco Milanos in my last car. I will be putting Milanos in my Z this summer. We sell them all.
