DAD seat question

I saw a couple posts on these seats and they sound really great fot the price and quality. My friend just spent like $1100 on 2 sparco torino's and they are awesome. They just fit my perfectly (i have really wide hips . Anways, will these be the same exact fit or are the smaller than the torinos. Also how is the height and ease of install. I am about 6"2 180

They are virtually identical. Awesome product for the price. I even think they look better than the Sparcos. The install requires a little fab work, but not too bad.

Mine seem to be a little wider than torino's. Not in seat width but in actual seating space (less lumbar cushion).

I believe it's www.dynamicautodesign.com and they make a couple different things, but I believe those are the only seats.

they don't look like they have good lateral support below the waste for racing or hard driving.

Did you guys see the office chairs?! LOOK! They even have holes for a 4 point harness incase you get outta control wheeling around the office!

They actually have great lateral support. Once you're in there, you ain't moving.

I guess it depends on your driving style/application...

I just noticed the Type R seats, those seem a lot better for holding you in position, but I wonder how they compare to the bride seats that have the shell that seems to fit right around you. They look a lot nicer too...isn't 1500 kind of steep though? Sparco seats are usually around 600 for good units and they're pretty high quality.
