The Recaro SPG appears on the list of FIA approved seats while the F1 Spec III does not, if that makes a difference to you.

::thumbs up:: thanks just doing my research. i was kind of leaning towards the F1's due to the Carbon fiber and kevlar that they offer but the FIA does definately mean some something. thanks!

FIA > unknown CF/Kevlar any day of the week. For everyone's future reference, that is the law you should follow

Plus if its FIA it means that its been tested. The shitty CF/Kevlar stuff is mostly just layered on top of a regular FRP shell anyways, so instead of being a lighter seat, its heavier due to the additional layers!
