Sparco S Light seat

Has anyone used this seat? It seems very impressive. Here is come of the info I've found on it. The seat weighs 8.8 pounds.

The S-Light continues Sparco's benchmark tradition of racing seats that exude quallity, comfort and applied technology. The carbon-fiber shell has been developed in Sparco's new state of the art production facility. The carbon-fiber honeycomb composite shell can withstand stresses of over 2200 pounds.

FEATURES:

Carbon Fiber honeycomb composite shell

Fire retardant covers with anti-slip fabric in shoulder and seat areas

Split, adjustable thigh cushions

Shock absorbing material in the head and side areas

Available with or without the Circuit style head restraint

The seat design is also very attractive. I found more info at http://www.sparcousa.com/seats_comp.asp under S Light CF.

These seats only weigh 8.8 pounds apiece.

We have done the Pro2000 in the full carbon fiber. A pair went into a E46 M3. Beautiful seat! Very nice seat. It took us a little while to get them. Sparco USA only had one in the states and the other had to be freighted in from Italy direct. We have not done the S-Lite yet but if you are interested, we can ship a pair to you.

I have been looking for just the right seat for a long time. These seats have my interest, however I want to sit in one first. If the fit is good I am interested.

Fitting in a seat correctly is of utmost importance. We order in seats for customers here to sit in and try first. If they don't like it, we send it back and arrange it first with the manufacturer so that there will be no penalty other than the shipping. Let me check and see if they have one avaiable to ship. You can call me direct at extension 256 and we can discuss.

OK, I have tried to convince them to let us order one with a return policy but no dice. It is an expensive seat and they want to make sure they are new. They have one in the states right now. Here is a picture of the seat dimensions. This shuld give you an idea of what the sizes are. In teh past, they are pretty close but the Pro2000 for instance can be deceiving.
