The RA seats aren't bad for stock seats....but I need shoulder support....and greater thigh support......

I've actually sat in these seats too at a car show here in Toronto....they felt better then a set of REAL Sparco Tornio's!!

For those of you who might not be aware, Recaro has been selling their unupholstered seats to third parties. A company called Arospeed sells these at a significat discount. They are Recaro seats, with Arospeed upholstery. These might be the same thing, because they look very similar.

Edit: I take that back, at $300 for the set, there is no way these are the Recaro third party as I described above.

Either way....I've sat in the Arospeed ones, the recaro's and then these $300 ones.....They all feel VERY similar...the only difference I can tell is the texture of the fabric...thats it. design and firmness of the seat itself it VERY close.

For $300 bucks what do you have to lose.....
