Recaro seat satisfaction survey...
I love the Recaro's, they hold me in place pretty well. In the first EVO I test drove, they felt too small for me. I'm 5'8" 185lbs and in the gym often so my back is wider than most my size. I took a test drive a little bit later and I actually enjoyed the feel and still do 6 months later.
I'm 5' 10" and 220ish. Seats don't give me enough thigh support. I hate how they assumed that everyone in the US is a fat bastard and made the seats wider. I've sat in ROW seats before and they fit me just fine.
6' 195. I could probably use another .5 inches in the thigh area and maybe an inch in the lat area and maybe a tad more than that in the shoulder area. They could be tighter around the hip and lower back area though.

6' 2" 255 pounds as well, and they are fine, took a while for them to widen a little more but they are fine.... over the summer i took a trip to Hilton Head Island, an approx 7 hour drive one way, with no complaints
i'm not the happiest of campers with my recaros... i'm 5'9'' 180... average build i guess... and i get thrown around in the seat... without my seat harnesses... i'd never be able to sit in the right position... can't wait till i get a new seat... =(
im 6-5, and about 330lbs. i have a huge frame, and i love the seats. i have done a 12 hour trip straight in them, and didnt have any complaints. the recaros in the evo were also a huge thing for me when deciding between a evo, and an sti. i couldnt get comfortable with the ones in the sti.
I like the seats, but then again I don't.
They could have at least put in the better Recaros and not the cheaper sport seats. Don't get me wrong, they are nice and all, but for what the car is, why not all out?!?
I broke my driver's side seat about 1 1/2 months after I had the car. After my accident the seat was bent toward the left side.
I'm replacing my seats with something a little better when I get some more money.
The seats are good, but not good enough.

Last driving event I went to, halfway through the day, my legs started hurting. Couldn't figure out why... next session went out and realized it was because the seats were not holding me in place. I was too focused on driving to see that I was propping my legs against the door(right turns) and center consule(left turns) to keep from sliding out of the seat.

Had the same problem, this took care of it.
