Since changing brands I found better items for cheaper from other name brand makes. I decided that Sparco can stay in Europe for all I care, their stuff just wasn't as good as competitors.
Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with Sparco. I'm not going to make excuses for something that failed. If there's anything we can help you with in the future let us know.

I just stepped up to a new Halo seat for the same reasons.... I bought the COBRA over the Sparco. Better made seat and has a composite shell that is way stronger than the fiberglass Sparco. Also has better fit and was only about $50 more! FYI - I'm 5'-11" and 180lbs (32" waist).

FYI- a Circuit is a very narrow seat for very skinny drivers.

So what would it cost you to fly into Washington Dulles Airport during the week?

Maybe I should have asked, Do you have the time to fly into Dulles and have us pick you up and bring you to our store so you can sit in all the seats and try anything else on that you might want to touch?

Unfortunately not. Work does take me to DC occasionally though. If I have no luck in NJ between now and the next time I am in DC I'll be sure to drop by!

OK, let me know when we can fly you in to fit you in a seat.
