Sparco R100 Reclining Seat
A motorsport-brand steel-frame seat that swaps the bucket's fixed shell for a double-adjuster lever recline, landing mid-pack in the enthusiast tier at 57. Good for rig builders who want fabric comfort and an adjustable backrest for long sessions. Skip it if you want a lightweight fixed bucket, and verify your cockpit's side-mount bracket spacing before buying.
