I have a Sparco Roadster in my Miata. Works fine on the street, although it's mostly an autocross car. Fairly easy to get in and out. Stiff but comfortable.
If you have any specific questions, let me know.

Do ya have any pictures of it in the car? My plan is to get either Fighters or roadsters for a 951 that will see mainly weekend and DE tracks stuff with the occasionl road trip. The road trips are what concerns me. Also the act of getting in and out of the car. I have friend who has a set of SPARCO pro 2000s in his S2 and they are "interesting to get in and out of. The side are REALLY high. I don't want quite that much. Also how easy is it to get the velcro pads to put in for lumbar support?

Those seats are not bad for street or auto-x. Unfortunately they are not FIA approved seats so from a safety perspective I would be careful with a seat like that. Definitely would not use them on big tracks and would be worried in case of an accident on the street!

The Roadster seat has fairly low sides, so getting in and out is no big deal for me. I sould not hesitate to drive the car for several hours with that seat, either, although I haven't done that yet.
I can get you a pic, but it's installed in my autocross Miata, not a P-car.
For what you're describing, it might just be an ideal seat. Although it's not as supportive as some others - that's the trade-off of lower side bolsters.

Please post a pic. I am thinking the same thing. The pictures of the Roadster make it look like it will be supportive enough for "light track duty" i.e. DEs and that is all I am after.
kary993 do you think the seat would actually rip loose of it's mountings or something in a wreck? As for not being FIA approved. I am not racing in it and while race speeds may be attained in a DE I believe either Sparco seat will just fine.
