Two Sparco R100 sport seats in vinyl, listed as a pair for drivers fitting both front seats at once. SKU 00961NR-X2. Single seats are listed separately if you only need one.
The R100 is Sparco’s entry sport seat: steel frame, tubular construction, reclining mechanism, and a deliberately narrow bolster profile. That narrow profile is the point. It fits tight cockpits where a seat with more aggressive lateral support would foul the sill or centre console, and it suits a wide range of body sizes because it does not grip as firmly as a competition shell. Each seat weighs 13kg, which reflects the steel frame rather than an aluminium or composite construction.
Vinyl trim is the practical choice on the R100. Cloth absorbs sweat and holds salt water from wet sessions; vinyl wipes clean after a day at the track. On a kit car, a car used in all weathers, or any build where easy maintenance matters, vinyl earns its price over the fabric option.
The base-mount bolt pattern is 345mm x 271mm. Both seats in this pair need sub-frames or runners to fit. This listing is for the seats only, brackets are not included.
Driver sizing: listed for 32 to 38-inch waist and all heights, which reflects the R100’s unconstrained fit. If lateral hold matters more than a wide fit envelope, the R333 has deeper bolsters, though it will not fit every cockpit the R100 will.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Question: A Sparco R100 Package For An Abarth 595, Both Sides, Priced, and Customer Question: How Do I Fit The Sparco R100 Seat Into My Subaru BRZ?. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 36in to 38in or 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
You need the car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner for fore-and-aft adjustment. Tell us your car and we will quote the complete fitting kit in one go. Our sliding runner guide covers the adjustment side.
Does it recline like a normal seat, and what about armrests?
Yes, the backrest reclines, which is the whole point of a sport recliner over a fixed bucket: support in the corners, comfort on the motorway, and access to rear seats. Armrests: not fitted on this model. Our recliner lineup comparison shows how the ranges stack up.
I am a bigger driver. Will it work for me?
Possibly, and it depends on the exact shell rather than the brand. We wrote a straight-talking guide on sport recliners for larger drivers from real showroom fittings, and if you send us your waist and height we will tell you honestly which recliners work at your size.
