Sparco Seats - group buy - anyone interested?

Is anyone interested in a group buy for Sparco seats??

I can offer 10% off list for all their seats. If I can come up with 10 seats, I can probably get 20% off.

Sparco Milano $800
Sparco Torino $539

Available in any color.

See www.sparcousa.com

Please email me if interested.

Regards,
Boris

Casey,

I can get the Rev as well. Any Sparco seat in any color.

Rev lists for $519, so 10% off is $467.

Boris

I have the Milano's in leather. Love the seats though some guests complain about them being too tight. (They don't get to ride very often) Leather is a bit more expensive than the Alcantra. ($1200 each)

Do Sparcos come with a height adjuster?

The seats themselves no...but sparco makes mounts for them that will allow height adjustment. Check out Sparco USA Seat Accessories for more info on what accessories you can use with sparco seats.

Modo that looks sweet!! Man, they match beautifully.

As for seats being tight, tell 'em to try out an S2000. Car must come with a weight-loss program

I'd be interested in the Milano... I have found it for $715 in alcantara or $1069 for leather.

Side air bags disappear. And airbag light illuminates. However, BMW can turn light off by having you sign a waiver from what I hear.

Also, I'm sure someone will invent some sort of "circuit completeter" to avoid the light altogether. Just a matter of time.

Sparco seats for other cars as well?

I have an old (1974, not THAT old) BMW 2002 that could use a couple of new seats... Any ideas which will fit? Still count as part of the group buy?

MiniG,

Yes, any Sparco seat can be part of the group buy.

To All,
I should also be able to get the proper vehicle specific mounting bracket.

Boris

I checked on the online suppliers who list these seats at less than 10% off and they are out of business.
www.rotormotorsports.com

Lists the Torinos for $529, Milanos for $715, but their phone number is disconected.


I'm offering the real deal!!! Direct from Sparco, not a 2001 product, but 2003, brand new in the box, Italian made racing seat. Any model, any color.

Regards,
Boris

Where are the seats shipping from? How are shipping costs calculated?

Thanks for the effort!

Sparco Torino for $519 @ Sound Domain.

Probably better off helping out the guys in the groupbuy than saving the few bucks (my opinion!) but if this groupbuy doesnt happen, consider this alternative.
