HEADACHE -- LEAVE YOUR SUGGESTION
 
I recently have several long-distance drive these coming up weeks, should I ride with the OEM seats or SPARCO Racing seats?

Which Sparco's?

If they are comfortable and give support then go for it.

If they reduce visibility, have minimal cushioning and support I would go the OEM.

I've done some 1k km trips in my MX5 with Sparco Sprint V and every time it was rubbish and my back was knackered at about the 3 hour mark.

I've never ridden/driven in a car with SPARCO seats, but, I can't imagine them being more comfortable on the long haul than the OEM seats.

I'd suggest you put the OEM seats in the car and get one of those gel cushions to use to give your butt bone a break.

Happy trails!

The title is confusing and I sort of expected Spam. If you are driving with your head on the seat and it is causing a headache then you are doing things all wrong and an different seat will not help.

Yeah I think it would be wise to go OEM seats for a long journey. You don't want a knackered up ass back.

Seriously, if you can stuff one of these in your car, do it. Your butt, back and lumbar will thank you.

My couch is no where nere as large as the front seat of any 1970s luxury sedan.

So the Sparco's give you a headache? Seems easy.

Adam_L 05-26-2019 03:49 AM

backache. Buttache. Torsoache.

All sounds bad to me. Your health is your wealth. Take heed brother-man
