RECARO Pole Position Vs. SPARCO QRT-R - Seat Comparison

[@B17714]

Exactly the nudge I needed to buy a pole position. Great review

[@ninjatux]

Thank you for making this video

*_I run Recaros! They just look super awesome!_* ‘08 FD2***

I rode in these recently. 6'1 180lbs 34" waist I fit in the seat great, and in a vehicle without a roll bar but the stock hoops I was able to pass the broom stick test with a helmet. For autocross and street driving it would work but getting in/out of the car with them is harder than my Pole Position ABEs.

[@MitchNucifora]

Awesome comparison man!

[@NAUS2K]

Thanks buddy !!

[@MrRarekiller10]

I bought your Sparco QRT-R. Very comfy. Fits 36” waist comfy. Shoulders have plenty of room. Mid section feels good. Overall i have been very happy with it.

[@NAUS2K]

Glad to hear man👍 I just couldn’t get over the loss of leg room, for my height, every click helps

[@MrRarekiller10]

NAUS I remember you saying that in your recaro install video. Nice

[@trenbobell7554]

Im 5'7 on a good day... how the hell do you guys fit QRT R's in this car... my head is on the roof

[@MrRarekiller10]

@@trenbobell7554 i’m 5’10” and i fit more comfortable than in any other seat in any car i’ve ever been in. A big factor is your amount of recline. I used a fixed base plate, but i hear rails will get you lower and is a lot easier to install.

[@kurumaSMASH]

Man IAM glad you put this video out. A new sparco popped up on market place for 600 obo. Lol

[@NAUS2K]

Thats what i ended up selling mine for, 600. Took quite a loss on it

[@Gmedalion]

Good review! Wish they made the PP with higher belt holes.

[@andrewfernandez5062]

Thanks man for the review

[@AirsoftZebra]

pushes the sparco seat on bubble wrap and the wrapping "Makes noise" lol

[@NAUS2K]

Uhhh nope, I can confirm that the bubble wrap made zero noise when the seat was sitting on top of it .it wasn’t even moving nor did any bubbles pop lmao

[@MastaJuse]

@@NAUS2K lol @bubble wrap. My sparcos has that same foam noise too, without the bubble wrap

I've been running my Pole Positions for this summer. I totally know what you mean about the shoulder tightness. I'm 5'10'' - 180lbs. I love the look of the Recaro. But no doubt the QRT-R is much more comfortable than the PP (esp in the shoulders). I think I might change my seat, but I really don't love the quality of the QRT-R.

[@NAUS2K]

Honestly even though the Recaro pinches my shoulders a little, I still found it more comfortable than the qrtr.

[@kumingo]

I agree. I didn’t like that about the pole position. My shoulder felt crushed.

[@soloryderrr]

Hey great seat comparison video, very useful. What cell mount/bracket are you using? Looks like phone slides right in..

[@NAUS2K]

The phone bracket I sketched up myself in solid works and 3D printed, is was made so my iPhone with case on it slid right in

[@soloryderrr]

@@NAUS2K It looks really good, great idea

[@NAUS2K]

@@soloryderrr Thanks man!

[@doublesynchrohelix8613]

WTF dude... we have the same Sparcos, same floor jack, same pressure washer, same fricken SNOW BLOWER... luckily they're mostly different colors or I'd go check in my garage for you right now...

[@NAUS2K]

Did we just become best friends??🤣

[@ShumileSwift]

Im crying 😭😭😭😭😭

[@DirtDude117]

Have you considered the Pole Position ABE? I really do like the price of the Sparco but that's me. I'm 6'1 180lbs but mainly use the factory belt since it's just STR autocross and mountains.

[@NAUS2K]

I was looking into the ABE for the passenger seat. However the Abe is not FIA certified or anything

[@DirtDude117]

@@NAUS2K It's still road legal, I have used mine for autocross (STR) just fine.

[@DirtDude117]

@@NAUS2K Weirdly I think I found the best seat for you. Check out the Marrad ST3.

[@NAUS2K]

@@DirtDude117 i found that last month too!!! definitely keeping my eyes on it.

[@7imblr]

Where do you got this Seatprotection for the Pole Position?

[@axelcornelis1007]

NICE ❤❤❤

[@Alto102]

Where did you get the padding for the rollbar?

[@NAUS2K]

Harddog sells is as an option with their rollbars

[@mikemayers9353]

qrtr is normal size or L/XL?

[@Scope951]

What waist size and height and weight are you? I'm 5'4" 140 lbs and wondering if it would be too wide for me?

[@NAUS2K]

Yes I’d say both of these seats would be way too big on you

[@gaprice2354]

For either seat, is anyone actually truly passing the broomstick test (2" clearance to the broom) who is 5'11"+. I see people saying they are 6 foot or more passing and i doubt this. I'm 5''11 with a QRT R and am still 1/2" over the line on a PCI adjustable mount (no Slider). I was considering going to the Recaro PP because the bottom shape of the seat (rounded vs squared) may help drop the seat a little lower, but i was worried that i wouldn't be able to safely run harness.

[@NAUS2K]

I do not believe I am 2” under the broomstick. I probably have less than 1” but I pass.

[@lancercool1992]

You need narrow shoulders and a huge butt to sit comfortably in the QRTR, with height over 6 feet this is a racing seat made for Donald Trump. It's by far my worst purchase on my s2000, Pole Position is really the perfect seat for this car as long as the driver isn't tall. On paper Sparco EVO is almost the same dimension as Pole Position with higher harness holes. Other seat is a Sabelt GT3, the dimensions aren't as nice I just love Sabelt as a brand. If you're still looking for a cheaper seat with high harness holes please at least give EVO a try.

[@mb6473]

how tall are you? and waist size
