Recaro A8 or Sparco Milano Prestige

[Mikael]

Which seat should I buy?

I'd like reclining leather sport seats with good support.

I love the look of the A8.

The Recaro A8 looks so good.

Has anyone experience with either of the seats?

pro/con?

All help greatly appreciated.

I have the A8s in my Carrera. My back does not tolerate the Sparcos, but it is a very personal question depending on your build.
The Recaros are great for support and provide enough confort for longer rides. They are a straight fit onto the original seat rails.
I think it's really a matter of personal preference.

George,

Looks like they almost touch the window. Is it difficult to get the seat belt behind the seat?

[GeorgeK]

Mikael,
There is ample room between the seat and the window when the door is cosed, even with the cage in my car.
To get the belt, you have to use the right hand (when sitting on the left), unless your elbow bends backwards too. Not much of a hassle. I tend to leave the belt on the shoulder pad, making it easier to grab when seated.

Great pictures, George. Thanks.
