^now those look nice 
I'll be ordering the Kevlar-backed Cobra Suzuka GT in December and will post pictures here. From what I am hearing in many different places (not online) the Cobras are the best bang for the buck......we'll see.
I have now drove in Sparco Evo's and Corsa's. The Evo is okay for comfort and fantastic for holding you in, but I'm not sure I'd put it in a daily driver (for someone my size). The Corsa is tight - so tight I couldn't push the clutch in without crunching Mr. left nut
- needless to say I only had the will to get through 2 gears in the Corsa, then I had to get out of the car. The Corsa was very tight on my shoulders too.
I think if I were going Sparco, it would be:
Recline - Milano
Bucket - Pro 2000 or Evo L/XL

Can you guys who are posting your seats to also please LIST what seat mount you are using? I am getting very confused with all this talk about top mount, etc since I have no clue what is what....
In this picture with the Brides, it that a top mount?
The problem I have is I'm rather tall (6'2, 180 lbs) and need the seat to go all the way back but I like the OEM seat height. But my g/f will drive this car to work and she needs the seat higher since she's only 5' tall.
Are there any mechanisms out there similiar to the VW Beetle where you can pump the seat up and down? or adjust the height on the fly?
C'mon fellas, I'm sure many of you have lady friends who are short so how do they drive your s2k if the seats are slammed to the floor? hahaha
