Default Sparco seats. Where can I try them ? Bedford area.

Hi. I'm looking to buy a new Sparco seat but would like to try it first to know which one is best for me ?

Any places selling these in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire area ?

Thank You

I dont think many places apart from Demon Tweaks do now, its not cost effective for traders to buy them in anymore

Have a look at the store locator

Gsm performance in Nottingham are the only people I know that have loads of seats on display to try before you buy, worth a visit for others wanting seats

I'll be buying it from Demon Tweaks but want to try it first. They've dimensions on the website but it's not same as sit in the seat of course :-(
I'm going holidays next week to Austria where my parents live and there is a Sparco shop near them so... Will try it :-)
I'm considering between Corsa and Circut seat.

Cheers guys.

It's really important you try before buying mate. I bit the bullet and traveled up to demon tweaks and bought a completely different pair from what I originally wanted.

Your back and bum will tell you instantly

I think there's a place in silverstone / northamptonshire that has a small selection

Cheers mate. I know, that's why I want to try it first.
Demon Tweaks is 150 miles far from place I live so it's definitely TOO far :-(
What did you get in the end mate ?

I originally was thinking Sparco Pro 2000 but then bought Corbeau Sportline RRB Seat (black) not FIA approved but really supportive. Seeings that I'm not professionally racing, wasn't that important. Works really well on track and I can sit in them for hours

I did also really like the Corbeau Pro Series in XL very comfy and supportive
