Default Race suits

I'm looking to buy a race suit and found a few at Demon Tweeks that I like the look of and can afford. I called them today and found out that the prices had increased due to the Euro, although I got some discount I was still hoping to pay a little less.

Does anyone know anywhere who does good prices on OMP and Sparco suits ?

I wouldnt choose either of them brands personally.

Had a Sparco and it started to fall apart at the seams, mates have had others and they have "bobbled" so bad they need a razor taking to them

AWS - never looked back since - and a lot more comfier to wear

totally agree with Tony, had the usual crap from all the big names, and my made to measure AWS is the lightests and most comfy ive ever had.

well worth being made to fit though,

both me and my mate have got the fairly cheap OMP ones, and they aren't bad, but arent great either, although his did stand up really well to his elbow grazing the floor out of the window as the car went skidding along on its side at 60
only roughed up the surface of the fabric so cant be too bad, like tony said, not sure about how long they will last.
both of ours came from peter lloyd rallying at the autosport show
