it makes a huge difference due to your body size you would have to sit in both back to back
This fall we took 5 evos on a 7 hour trip one way to a track no-one complained about any of their seats (we had each and every version i think)

I think the 9 seats are more comfortable myself, the 8 seats are not far behind though.

I have the leather Recaros and have sat in the regular Evo 8 Recaros and the Evo 9 Recaros as well.

The standard Evo 8 Recaros were the most comfortable for me.

The leather seats seem to be a bit wider than the standard Evo 8 seat and the Evo 9 even slightly wider.


If you're a bit wider in the "rear" the Evo 9 seat would be perfect.

It all depends on your definition of comfortable. For a sporting pilot, the IX seats have an advantage.

How about durability?

I guess both seats have their advantages. The evo8' foam is much softer so you sink into it more. On the other hand, the evo9's are a bit stiffer and wider, and offer more support. What about durability though and wear? I have found that the evo8 versions wear much faster and seem to come apart quicker than the red stictched evo9 version seats do.
