For some years I have been selling recaro seats from st170s to frs owners who all say the sparco ones are crap and just for show, so it should be common knowledge amongst the owners, this is more of a heads up for those of you retro fitting them into other cars, welsh fords recent incident shows what most of us knew, the sparco seats are utter shite










only pic I can find of seat blown apart showing its basically a normal focus seat with a headrest and a sparco cover pulled over it all







quote from welsh ford

"This is why noone should run harnesses on seats not designed for them - especially standard seats. On this photo the harnesses snapped the seat during a crash, which caused the driver a broken back which now requires spinal surgery (Mk1 focus RS seats are not designed for harnesses).
Don't risk such an important part of your body for the sake of running harnesses - if you want harnesses make sure you have the right seats."
