I was wondering if you could tell me a bit of info on this "Siena" seat. I was at the Sparco website but did not give too much helpfull info on the seat.

How good is the support that it gives you from the sides and from the shoulders..?
I don't race but I do need a bit better support ...specially on the shoulders.

How does it compare to the torino..?

I like the price...so any info that you give me about them I would appreciated.

Thanks

If you are concerned more about the shoulder area the Torino is going to have a lot more supports vs. the Siena. The Siena has narrow shoulders. The shoulders do curve forward a bit for support and it does have good side bolsters.

The hip and leg bolsters are more on the comfort side as they are composed of injection molded foam only and don’t contain the hard inner frame. In very aggressive driving support-wise the Torino would be better because the bolsters don’t give way. The foam on the Siena is pretty tall so it will hold you in well but under hard corners it will give, so I would recommend it to someone who is a big guy or who leans toward having a more street/comfort seats rather than an aggressive seat.
