do you need it for racing or DE? the expiration date matters if u are using it for racing.

Halo not an option - SPG XL only. The car will eventually have two seats if not now later... also it's 50% street. Add to the mix my size and there is no other option as I'd rather Recaro than Sparco.

Thanks.

I've got an unused Racetech 4009W if you're interested. If you're not familiar with Racetech they are very similar in design and quality to the Recaro SPG, this is their equivilent to the SPG xl version. I've also got their aluminum mounts for the seat.

I never used it as it was a christmas present from my wife and I ended up getting a pair of used SPG's (regular sized) that fit in the car better. Here are some photos;

Thanks guys...

Just in from Watkins Glen -- Will reach out tomorrow.

(The weekend rests the case for needing something better than the OEM Sports.)

Awesome... simply fantastic - best out of the box/factory car I've ever owned. I know we briefly touched on initial sway setting and I had them in the center front and rear... took a ride to bed the Pagids and scuff the Hoosiers (5 laps) came in and softened the rear bar the one hole to full soft and matted it from then on. Lucked out with damn near perfect balance for the Glen. The LSD is shot, but we kind of knew that would be the case and we'll address that and I'll get a seat in it for the next event. I also think I'll take just a little out of the rear negative camber after examining the tires.

What a car -- plug and play without any fuss. Just what I was looking for... a car that will spend more time on it's tires than a lift preparing for the track.

Thanks for asking!



PS: Wifey, a long time instructor, was not as enthusiastic as she's a little thing who kept rocking from one side to the other without her seat and insert. She's demanded a nice race seat... too bad huh???
